While researchers lose sleep over the rapidly melting ice sheets in the poles, studies suggest it is how history is repeating.

Most of the island is covered by the slow-flowing Greenland Ice Sheet that drains towards the coastline through a number of outlet glaciers. Only around 20% of the island is ice-free, consisting ...

The U.S. would inherit an environmental dilemma of its own making if it lays claim to the massive Arctic island.

A new study found on Wednesday that part of Greenland’s ice sheet is thinning further inland than previously believed, which is likely to lead to a greater rise in sea levels by the end of this ...

Academics from Northumbria University have joined an international research team that has utilised satellite data to monitor changes in the thickness of the Greenland Ice Sheet. This study is ...

Greenland's ice sheet is melting rapidly due to global warming, significantly impacting global sea levels and weather patterns. Recent studies from ESA and NASA show precise measurements of ice ...

New satellite images show the extreme melting that has taken place on the critical Greenland ice sheet, according to researchers. The sheet is a mass of glacial land ice and is an integral part of ...

ESA and NASA Satellites Deliver First Joint Picture of Greenland Ice Sheet Melting Dec. 20, 2024 — Scientists have delivered the first measurements of Greenland Ice Sheet thickness change using ...

The project, which involved carving a network of tunnels through Greenland’s ice sheet and was powered by a small nuclear reactor, was deemed unfeasible due to the constantly shifting ice and ...

Deep below the thick ice of Greenland lies a labyrinth of tunnels that were once thought to be the safest place on Earth in case of a war. First created during the Cold War, Project Iceworm saw ...

The team, with members from 12 European scientific institutions, drilled and retrieved a 9,186-foot-long (2,800-meter) ice core from the Antarctic ice sheet. The sample extended so deep that ...
