Greenland is larger than any American state, but 80% of it is buried beneath an ice sheet. Almost 90% of the nearly 60,000 people who live there are Inuit, descendants of the Thule who reached the ...

But on most maps, Greenland looks almost as big as the entire continent of Africa. Advertisement In fact, it's 14 times smaller than Africa, something that is apparent when you look at its actual ...

Greenland’s floating ice platforms — which hold back trillions of tons of ice that could cause sea level rise — are in stark decline, according to a new study.

Meltwater from the Greenland ice sheet contributes about 0.8 millimeters a year to global sea level rise. Here is a look at how many swimming pools that amount of water can fill.

If Greenland’s ice sheet were to melt completely, sea levels would rise by about 7 meters (23 feet) causing devastation to the billions who live along the world’s coasts.

But on most maps, Greenland looks almost as big as the entire continent of Africa. In fact, it's 14 times smaller than Africa, something that is apparent when you look at its actual size to scale ...

As the ocean warms, Greenland’s last remaining ice shelves are rapidly weakening, destabilizing the nearby glaciers and threatening potentially “dramatic” consequences for sea level rise ...

“It’s a conservative lower bound. The climate has only to continue warming around Greenland for more commitment,” he told AFP. If the high levels of melting seen in 2012 became an annual occurrence, ...

Greenland’s rapidly melting ice sheet will eventually raise global sea level by at least 10.6 inches (27 centimeters) — more than twice as much as previously forecast — according to a study ...

How Greenland’s ice streams could have major impact on sea level rise ’No-one had any idea that the streams of this scale could change so quickly’ ...
