Around 10,000 years ago, as the last Ice Age drew to a close, the drifting of the continent of North America, and spreading ...

Greenland's ice is melting, opening new sea routes and yielding easier access to prized natural resources, writes Fred Hewett. The island has become a bellwether of global disruption driven by climate ...

The tiny ice inhabitants darken the glacier's surface, which can accelerate its melting. Glaciers are massive bodies of white ...

At the end of the last Ice Age, around 10,000 years ago, the melting of massive glaciers may have done more than just raise ...

change because of the melting sea ice, Jeremiassen said through an interpreter. Jeremiassen is now chairman of Greenland’s Fishermen and Hunters Association, which represents and communicates ...

The primary culprit behind the ice melt in both Greenland and Antarctica is global warming. Rising temperatures cause surface meltwater and warm ocean currents to erode ice sheets from above and ...

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 ...

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 ...

When this settles on ice, it darkens the surface, which then absorbs more ... This could further accelerate the melting of Greenland’s precarious ice sheet. A 2022 study also found that three ...

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 ...

About 80 percent of the territory's surface is covered by the Greenland Ice Sheet, which is rapidly melting as global temperatures rise. A Google Timelapse video, shown below, illustrates the ...

This work aims to quantify the effect of surface generated melt-water fluctuations on ice motion at the margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet. There has been significant recent research focus on the role ...
