“It was so unexpected, we thought there was an issue with our data,” said Jade Bowling, senior author of the study which has turned scientific knowledge of Greenland’s ice sheet hydrology on its head.

Scientists were caught by surprise after discovering a massive flood of subglacial lakewater burst through Greenland’s ice sheet, spilling copious amounts of water across its surface. As detailed in a ...

If 24 billion gallons of water burst through the ice sheet in Greenland, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? While one can debate the philosophy of perception for ages, multiple ...

A huge flood triggered by the rapid draining of a lake beneath the Greenland ice sheet occurred with such force that it fractured the ice above and burst out across its surface. A huge flood triggered ...
