A massive chunk of ice - larger than the city of Paris - has broken off from the Arctic's largest ice shelf because of warmer temperatures in Greenland, scientists said on Monday. The 113 sq km ...
We didn't know what it was at first." NASA scientists conducting surveys of arctic ice sheets in Greenland got an unprecedented view of an abandoned "city under the ice" built by the U.S. military ...
NASA has shared an image of a defunct Cold War-era military base hidden deep underneath the frigid Greenland Ice Sheet. As NASA cryospheric scientist Chad Greene flew over the Arctic plateau in ...
The discovery is crucial to understanding how melting ice could influence global sea levels. An unexpected and previously unknown topography beneath Antarctica's floating ice shelves has come 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 ...
Antarctica's ice shelves are melting more rapidly than previously known because of climate change, according to a new US Geological Survey report prepared in close collaboration with the British ...
When scientists peered beneath one of Antarctica's floating ice shelves, they were surprised to find an upside-down landscape of peaks, valleys and plateaus. "We were surprised – we had to ...
This study explores the 90-year collapse of the Midgaard Glacier, one of the greatest mass losers in the entire Greenland ice sheet. The study reveals complex ice flow piracy and demonstrates the ...
Recent research has shown record-low sea ice, extreme heatwaves exceeding 40°C [72°F] above average temperatures, and increased instability around key ice shelves. Shifting ecosystems on land and ...
