Greenland's ice sheet currently spans over 1.7 million square kilometers and is the largest freshwater reservoir in the ...

Crevasses play an integral part in the life cycle of glaciers, and as they grow they hold the potential to further accelerate ...

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.

A new study provides insights into where the channels that drain subglacial water from underneath the Greenland Ice Sheet are ...

The study found that crevasses are expanding more quickly than previously detected, and somewhere between 50 and 90 percent of the water flowing through the Greenland Ice Sheet goes through ...

Finally, where the ice meets the ocean and no scientist would ever dare to stand, they can be monsters over 100 meters from wall to wall. And across Greenland, they are growing. It shouldn't be ...

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 Greenland Ice Sheet is a vast reserve of frozen water, with the potential to raise sea levels by a whopping seven metres (23 feet). Now, scientists have warned that the ice sheet - the world's ...

A study by Durham University reveals that the Greenland ice sheet is cracking faster due to climate change. Researchers observed significant increases in the size and depth of crevasses ...

The research station and borehole are located on the North East Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS), significantly contributing to ...
