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 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 ...

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 ...

Mapping cracks In a new study, my colleagues and I mapped crevasses across the entirety of the Greenland ice sheet in 2016 and 2021.To do this, we used the “ArcticDEM”: three-dimensional ...

The Greenland ice sheet contains about 8% of the planet's freshwater, and its meltwater could contribute significantly to rising sea levels, changing ocean circulation and ecosystems worldwide.

For the first time, researchers have collected detailed measurements of water vapor high above the surface of the Greenland ice sheet. Their research, aided by a custom-designed drone, could help ...

Parts of the Greenland ice sheet are melting at up to nearly 42 centimeters (cms) per year, and the thinning is affecting ice at higher altitudes than expected, according to a study published this ...

Norwegian scientists from the University of Bergen and drone specialist Marble have found a way to monitor Greenland's ice sheet, which is under severe strain and threatened by increasing melting ...

For the first time, researchers have collected detailed measurements of water vapor high above the surface of the Greenland ice sheet. Their research, aided by a custom-designed drone, could help ...

GREENLAND, AS YOU MAY KNOW, IS NEITHER NOT GREEN AND NOT REALLY LAND, BUT RATHER COVERED BY THE SECOND LARGEST BODY OF ICE IN THE WORLD, SECOND ONLY TO THE ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET. BUT THE ICE IS MELTING.

“You look at the ice sheet, and it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before.” More and more people are seeking that experience. Some 30,000 people reached Greenland on cruise ships in 2010 ...
