A study led by the University of Barcelona and published in the journal Nature Communications shows that climate change has profoundly altered extreme episodes of melting in the Greenland ice sheet by ...

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 ...

Melting glaciers and ice sheets are raising sea levels while the Arctic is poised to log one of its worst winters on ...

Greenland’s vast ice sheet is not just shrinking, it is rearranging the physics of the oceans around it. As the ice melts and flows into surrounding seas, it is driving strange local sea level drops, ...

Climate change has significant yet odd effects on locations around the world. In some cases it affects migration patterns, ...

Scientists discover that giant columns of softer ice within the Greenland ice sheet behave like pasta boiling, due to ...

Greenland is emerging as a global focal point as the Arctic changes faster than almost any other region on Earth. Ice that once blanketed the ocean throughout the year is rapidly shrinking, and as a ...

An article published recently in Nature Geoscience warns that Antarctica's ice masses have begun to experience a process scientists call "Greenlandification." The term refers to the unprecedented ...

BERLIN -- The heat wave that smashed high temperature records in five European countries a week ago is now over Greenland, accelerating the melting of the island's ice sheet and causing massive ice ...

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 ...
