Greenland's ice sheet currently spans over 1.7 million square kilometers and is the largest freshwater reservoir in the ...
Quakes recorded for the first time inside Greenland's biggest frozen river, the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream, suggest this ...
The study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, shows that from 2010 to 2023, Greenland lost 563 cubic miles of ice, equivalent to the volume of Lake Victoria, the largest lake ...
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 ...
Finally, where the ice meets the ocean and no scientist would ever dare to stand, they can be monsters more than 100 meters from wall to wall. And across Greenland, they are growing. It shouldn ...
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.
The changing environment has seen parts of Greenland's ice sheet and glaciers replaced by wetlands, areas of shrub and barren rock. For mining companies, Greenland's ice retreat could facilitate ...
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 ...
Even though Greenland is the world's coldest country (colder than Canada and Russia), that doesn't preclude it from facing the heat of climate change. While the island's colossal ice sheet rapidly ...
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 ...
