The remote and often unforgiving surface of Greenland’s ice sheet has long been a subject of intrigue for scientists. What lies beneath the thick layers of snow and ice has been largely a mystery, ...

The Greenland ice sheet has lost 20 percent more ice than scientists previously thought, posing potential problems for ocean circulation patterns and sea level rise, according to a new study ...

Science New 3-D Study of the Greenland Ice Sheet Shows Glaciers Falling Apart Faster Than Expected Crevasses are widening faster as meltwater drives fissures deeper into the ice and lubricates the ...

Ice sheet melting is the dominant contributor to rising seas and the rate of annual sea level rise has doubled over the past 30 years. It’s set to get worse.

Satellite data shows that Antarctic ice sheets have grown in size, prompting claims that climate change is in reverse or even ...

For their study, the University of Vermont team started by requesting a sample of the sediment where the 1993 Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2, or GISP2, ice core hit bedrock — one of the few ...

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 ...

The Antarctic Ice Sheet gained mass between 2021 and 2023, a dramatic reversal from decades of loss. Four key glacier basins in East Antarctica showed significant growth due to increased snowfall.

Containing around 750,000 cubic miles of ice – enough to fill Wembley Stadium nearly 3 billion times – the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is a rich reservoir of precious frozen freshwater.
