In 1967, the U.S. decommissioned a military base that had been constructed underneath the Greenland Ice Sheet. In doing so, the military removed a portable nuclear reactor that had helped power ...

This natural dam failure resulted in billions of liters ... witness outbursts from even larger ice-dammed lakes as ...

This is one of thousands of giant sinkholes, or moulins, in Greenland where water is draining through the ice sheet into the ocean. Meltwater from Greenland is the largest current contributor to ...

ILULISSAT, Greenland (CNN)-- From the air, Greenland's ice sheet, the second largest on Earth, appears to be perfectly still. But below the surface, the ice sheet is in constant motion ...

University of Vermont researchers analysed soil to prove the presence of an ancient tundra two miles (3.2km) below the Greenland Ice Sheet Greenland looked like the green Alaskan tundra ...

Greenland is a bellwether of global disruption driven by climate change. The ice sheet is dwindling in real time. Sapphire lakes of meltwater, sometimes miles wide, collect on glaciers in summer.

New research charts the history of the Greenland Ice Sheet and its impact on global sea levels throughout history to present day. Writing in the journal Nature Geoscience the study provides the first ...

I am a geoscientist who studies the environmental history of Greenland and its ice sheet, including natural hazards and climate change. That knowledge is essential for understanding the risks that ...

As record-breaking summer temperatures scorched Europe, parts of the Greenland ice sheet have seen their own 'mini heatwave'. The melting of Greenland's huge ice sheet is one of the more visible ...

The study concludes that the changes to Greenland's glaciers in the past decade are widespread, large and sustained over time and they are progressively affecting the entire ice sheet and ...

Scientists have found that Greenland – the Earth’s second-largest ice sheet – is losing ice at a faster pace than ever before. Greenland’s glaciers dumped about 286 billion tonnes of ice ...
