A new large-scale study of crevasses on the Greenland Ice Sheet shows that those cracks are widening faster as the climate ...

Crevasses are widening faster as meltwater drives fissures deeper into the ice and lubricates the base of glaciers, ...

A new study provides insights into where the channels that drain subglacial water from underneath the Greenland Ice Sheet are ...

Even though 'glacial' is commonly used to describe extremely slow, steady movement, a new study has found that glaciers speed up and slow down on a daily -- even hourly -- basis in response to changes ...

Rising Sea Levels When you think about the ice melting in Greenland and Antarctica, you're really looking at the biggest ...

The increased crevassing, especially prominent in fast-flowing portions of the ice sheet, could lead to a feedback loop that accelerates ice loss from the glacier, which ultimately raises sea levels.

Observing Greenland from a helicopter, the main problem is one of comprehending scale. I have thought we were skimming low ...

Crevasses can reach over 300 feet in width, thousands of feet in length, and hundreds of feet in depth. Research led by glaciologist Thomas Chudley from ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new ...

The world's second biggest body of ice - the Greenland Ice Sheet - is cracking open quicker than scientists had previously ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open at an accelerating pace, with crevasses growing larger and deeper due to the effects of climate change. A new study using high-resolution 3D mapping has reveal ...
