The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new large-scale study of crevasses on the world’s second largest body of ice. Using 3-D ...

Observing Greenland from a helicopter, the main problem is one of comprehending scale. I have thought we were skimming low over the waves of a fjord, before noticing the tiny shadow of a seabird far ...

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 That’s imprudent, because the ...

Three-dimensional maps of glacier surfaces across Greenland reveal that cracks are growing rapidly where land ice meets the sea — and climate change is to blame. Using satellite images gathered in ...

New research has analyzed melt patterns on the Greenland Ice Sheet. This study determined that cracks are opening up faster as the sheet melts in response to climate change. The researchers used three ...

The state of the world's second-largest body of ice is concerning scientists, and rising global temperatures are to blame for its deterioration. A study led by Durham University analyzed 8,000 3D ...

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 MELTING ...

Hidden beneath the pristine white surface of Antarctica and Greenland lies an invisible crisis. While most people imagine ice ...

Thwaites Glacier, the large, rapidly changing outlet of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, is not only being eroded by the ocean, it's being melted from below by geothermal heat, researchers at the ...

An international team of researchers has shown that countless tiny ice quakes take place in one of Greenland's mightiest ice streams. This finding will allow the flowing of the ice sheet and ...
