Greenland's ice sheet dumps more than 280 billion metric tons of melting ice into the ocean each year. Even if global warming were to stop today, the ice sheet would continue shrinking.
In the 1930s, the Greenland ice sheet lost about 206 gigatons of ice per year. In the 2010s, the ice sheet lost about 247 gigatons per year. 2012 and 2019 had the largest ice losses since regular ...
A team of researchers from Western Washington University has arrived on the icy edges of Greenland. They are spending 12 days studying one of Earth’s most important natural features—the Greenland Ice ...
Greenland ice sheet set to raise sea levels by nearly a foot, study finds. New research suggests the massive ice sheet is already set to lose more than 3 percent of its mass, ...
The wind, having tumbled down 4,000 feet of elevation from the domed summit of the ice sheet hundreds of miles to the west, charged over the surface in wavelike pulses. The GreenDrill site sat on ...
Greenland just experienced another massive melt event this year. But this time, something unusual happened. It also rained at the summit of the ice sheet, nearly two miles above sea level. Around ...
A rediscovered sample of frozen sediment, collected more than 50 years ago, highlights the vulnerability of Greenland’s ice sheet to a warming climate. By Emily Anthes In 1966, scientists at ...
In fact, if all of Greenland's ice sheets melted, sea levels could rise by 23 feet worldwide. CBS News' Seth Doane flew out to Helheim Glacier, ...
