When the ice sheet surface is lowered by melting at a rate outweighing the uplift of the landscape due to glacial isostatic adjustment, then the Greenland ice sheet mass tips from approximately 50 ...

Greenland may not remain the home to many adventurous Arctic destinations for much longer. Researchers attribute this to two key factors: surface melting caused by rising air temperatures and ...

Human-induced global warming, driven by fossil fuel combustion, speeds the melting of Greenland’s ice. That melting is threatening the island’s infrastructure and the lifestyles of native ...

And surface melt on Greenland’s ice sheet has been accelerating, spurred by soaring temperatures in the Arctic, which is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. In 2017, after two ...

New research using drones has uncovered new details about water vapor movement above Greenland’s ice sheet, something that ...

Greenland's changing climate also holds potential for the U.S.'s artificial intelligence ambitions. During a Feb. 12 Senate hearing on the acquisition of Greenland, Rebecca Pincus, director of the ...

The retreat of Arctic glaciers has revealed new land formations, significantly altering the region’s geography.

Each year, as spring arrives in the Arctic, the sun's warmth triggers a transformation on the Greenland ice sheet. Snow melts, and patches of brownish algae bloom on the ice surface. These microscopic ...
