A well-timed atmospheric river dropped enough snow on Greenland for its ice sheet to lose 8% less mass than expected.

Climate scientists thought stronger atmospheric rivers would accelerate Greenland's ice loss—but it might actually be slowing ...

A recent study finds that algae can store nutrients, potentially allowing them to spread across more of the ice sheet, ...

The rise in global temperatures has already reached the level of an unprecedented threat to humanity and the entire ecosystem ...

Greenland lacks a road or rail network, so people rely on helicopters, planes and boats to get around. Rising temperatures and melting ice are meanwhile opening new and shorter shipping routes, ...

Contribution to Sea Level Rise The ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica play a pivotal role in global sea level changes.

The Greenland Ice Sheet is the largest ice mass in the Northern Hemisphere, and it's melting rapidly. Climate change is causing more intense atmospheric rivers, which can deliver intense ...

Pigmented algae are well adapted to grow on exposed ice in the Arctic as the snow line recedes, raising concerns of a ...

"New ice is being exposed on Greenland every year, because the snow melts earlier and earlier. There used to be a thick snow cover all year round, but now large new areas of ice are being exposed ...

U.S. President Donald Trump has cast a covetous gaze at Greenland. But why? In an interview, Greenland expert Paul Bierman explains why the exploitation of natural resources on the island is difficult ...

Greenland’s ice sheet is rapidly losing ice, pushing it towards an irreversible tipping point that could raise sea levels.
