In April 2024, a team of scientists led by NASA’s Chad Greene embarked on a mission over Greenland to study the ice sheet ...

Ice loss in Greenland is already large, irreversible, and greatly accelerated after centuries of near stability. Though a tipping point for future ice loss has already been crossed, the pace of this ...

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

A radar image captured by NASA scientists in April 2024 revealed Camp Century, an abandoned Cold War-era military base buried ...

The coastline of Southeast Greenland is uplifting more rapidly than other parts of the island. This is caused by weak rocks ...

NASA discovered a long-lost Cold War base beneath Greenland's ice. Using radar, scientists revealed hidden structures, ...

The team’s research was published in The Cryosphere. Greenland’s ice sheet is one of two on Earth, the other spanning Antarctica. Combined, the two ice sheets contain more than 68% of Earth ...

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

Ice streams like NEGIS carry massive amounts of ice from the interior of the Greenland ice sheet to the ocean, and their rate of flow is directly tied to how quickly sea levels rise. Until now ...

A major role in this is played by the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, which is the second largest, second only to the Antarctic glaciers. Pros estimates scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion ...

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