Seismic imaging detects subglacial sediments up to 650 feet thick, letting glaciers slide faster over soft beds than rock and raising coastal risk.

Greenland, which has been prominently in the news in recent days, hosts a vast ice sheet. If it melts, it will become one of the largest contributors to global sea-level rise. Under a high-emissions scenario,

Seven thousand years ago, a major section of Greenland’s ice sheet disappeared entirely. New research confirms it will happen again this century.

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) have found a new layer under Greenland's ice sheet that could let ice flow to th.

Trump's interest in Greenland isn't random - the Arctic island holds military bases and rare earth minerals as ice melts open strategic opportunities.

New satellite records capture how polar ice sheets slide toward the sea, helping scientists better understand ice loss and rising sea levels.

A routine science flight over northern Greenland produced an unexpected image recently. In April 2024, NASA researchers testing a radar system aboard .

The story of Greenland's name weaves together sly marketing, climate change and the Vikings. While Erik the Red selected the name in hopes that it would attract more people to the icy island, now the island is actually getting (a little) more green as its ice sheet melts.
