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

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 ...

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

A new map released this week gives us a clear view of the continent as if its massive sheet of ice has been removed.

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

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 ...
