Until recently, they were thought only to exacerbate Arctic ice loss. But in March 2022, an intense atmospheric river delivered 16 billion tons of snow to Greenland. That was enough snow to offset the ...

borehole in the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream — Greenland's largest frozen river that serves as the main artery through which ice is discharged from the ice sheet's interior into the North ...

Until recently, they were thought only to exacerbate Arctic ice loss. But in March 2022, an intense atmospheric river delivered 16 billion tons of snow to Greenland. That was enough snow to offset ...

The question is whether mining companies can overcome the headaches inherent in extracting rare earths from Greenland’s ice-free yet still frigid edges. An outfit would have to ship in all their ...

“It’s a rare opportunity to directly link such an event to Greenland ice sheet surface mass balance and dynamics.” The ice core section revealed that the atmospheric river had brought 16 ...

An atmospheric river event recently accelerated ice loss of the Greenland ice sheet (the largest ice mass in the Northern Hemisphere) in summer 2021 with copious amounts of rain, but only months later ...

This is one of thousands of giant sinkholes, or moulins, in Greenland where water is draining through the ice sheet into the ocean. Meltwater from Greenland is the largest current contributor to ...

Since the Gulf Stream carries warm water from the tropical Atlantic Ocean up the coast of the Carolinas and then across to Europe, she explains, “the Gulf Stream is essentially a river of water that's ...

This is what’s happening as the Greenland Ice Sheet shrinks.” The more than 656,000-mile sheet — an area about three times the size of Texas — is nearly two miles thick, and contains about ...

Scientists discovered thousands of ice quakes beneath Greenland’s Ice Sheet, changing our understanding of ice movements and global climate. These quakes, revealed through advanced technology ...
