Greenland’s ice sheet is rapidly losing ice, pushing it towards an irreversible tipping point that could raise sea levels.
Greenland's ice sheet has been losing a staggering amount of ice at an accelerating rate. A tipping point could come by the turn of the next century, a new study warns.
New research, published in The Cryosphere, has identified a critical threshold—called a “tipping point”—that could determine ...
That’s imprudent, because the Arctic’s climate is changing more rapidly than anywhere on Earth. Such rapid warming further ...
The world’s second largest body of ice – the Greenland Ice Sheet – is cracking open quicker than previously, scientists have warned. Using 3-D maps of its surface, researchers have found ...
The Greenland ice sheet is experiencing significant changes, with crevasse volumes increasing notably in fast-flowing sectors, particularly in the southeast, where they grew by over 25% from 2016 ...
Ice streams like NEGIS carry massive amounts of ice from the interior of the Greenland ice sheet to the ocean, and their rate of flow is directly tied to how quickly sea levels rise. Until now ...
A new large-scale study of crevasses on the Greenland Ice Sheet shows that those cracks are widening faster as the climate warms, which is likely to speed ice loss and global sea level rise.
GREENLAND, AS YOU MAY KNOW, IS NEITHER NOT GREEN AND NOT REALLY LAND, BUT RATHER COVERED BY THE SECOND LARGEST BODY OF ICE IN THE WORLD, SECOND ONLY TO THE ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET. BUT THE ICE IS ...
A new study reveals that dark-pigmented microalgae, which contribute to the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, are highly efficient at nutrient uptake and growth, allowing them to rapidly ...
Greenland has large deposits of rare earth minerals along its coasts, but these are also geologically hazardous regions. Alex Hibbert/The Image Bank via Getty Images ...
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 ...
