A vast network of lakes and streams lies beneath the thick ice sheet. This water can lubricate the ice, allowing it to slide more rapidly toward the ocean. Our new research shows “subglacial ...

New evidence has led to an update of when an ancient ice sheet that used to cover large portions of North America melted – a discovery has implications for modern ice sheets and glaciers in the face ...

A group of scientists recently found that atmospheric rivers can potentially slow down this melting and contribute to saving the massive Greenland Ice Sheet. Atmospheric rivers are large and narrow ...

But hidden beneath the miles of glaciers and ice sheets lies a landmass that was last exposed 40 million years ago. National Security Agency chief and deputy director dismissed Jack Black takes ...

The Greenland ice sheet has melted more than 5 trillion tons of ice since 1992. The new experiment aims to collect water vapour by using drones to study how global warming can affect Greenland. Listen ...

a massive floating glacier attached to the Antarctic Peninsula ice sheet, according to the Schmidt Ocean Institute. The remnants of a massive iceberg calving event are seen from Research Vessel ...

In the coastal areas of East Antarctica, which is a covered by a huge ice sheet, the melting of the ice sheet by warm seawater has been revealed. However, to predict the future ice sheet melting ...

A drone, equipped with custom instruments, has provided the first high-resolution look at water vapor and its isotopic fingerprints above one of the world’s largest ice sheets. The findings are ...

SECOND ONLY TO THE ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET. BUT THE ICE IS MELTING. FAST. THE GREENLAND ICE CAP IS NOW THE THE LARGEST CONTRIBUTOR TO GLOBAL SEA LEVEL RISE. IT’S OUTSTRIPPED THE GENERAL WARMING OF ...

Greenland has large deposits of rare earth minerals along its coasts, but these are also geologically hazardous regions. Alex Hibbert/The Image Bank via Getty Images ...
