This video explores what would happen if Greenland’s massive ice sheet completely melted. Containing a significant portion of ...

The base is abandoned, but the U.S. Army left some waste behind.

Large-scale melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is irreversible and happening at a rapid rate, and now a new international study is the first to understand why. A University of Waterloo scientist and a ...

A growing network of meltwater lakes at the edge of the Greenland ice sheet is accelerating the flow of major glaciers, potentially increasing the pace of global sea-level rise. Warmer air and sea ...

Massive structures of slow, swirling, plume-like patterns were found hidden deep inside Greenland’s ice sheet years ago, but their source remained a mystery. Now, scientists believe they may have ...

The MEaSUREs Greenland 6 and 12 day Ice Sheet Velocity Mosaics from SAR, Version 2 data set, available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC), has ...

Calving front of an ice shelf in West Antarctica. The traditional view on ice shelves, the floating extensions of seaward glaciers, has been that they mostly lose ice by shedding icebergs. A new study ...

Greenland is one of the fastest-melting cryosphere regions on Earth. In fact, scientists say the large-scale melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is irreversible, and it’s happening now at an ...

Scientists may have finally solved the mystery of strange plume-like structures hidden deep inside the Greenland ice sheet. New research suggests they form through thermal convection—slow, swirling ...

Greenland's Ice Sheet is shrinking, and the difference is visible from space. Its rapid melting could lead to "catastrophic consequences" for the entire world, says the European Space Agency. The ESA ...
