At the top of the world, northern Greenland’s huge glaciers — long thought to be relatively stable — are in trouble, a new study shows. As the ocean warms, Greenland’s last remaining ice ...
Greenland's accelerating rate of ice loss is projected to exceed that of any period during the Holocene, the geological epoch that began roughly 12,000 years ago.
The area of Greenland’s ice loss in the past three decades is 36 times the size of New York City — land that is rapidly giving way to wetlands and shrubs, a study shows.
Even if the planet doesn't get any warmer than it is now, melting ice in Greenland could add at least 1.5 metres to the global average sea level and possibly as much as 5 metres.
We may need to rethink that old expression "Greenland is ice, Iceland is green." New research published Tuesday says that because of global warming, Greenland’s ice sheet is melting fast – and ...
Some 400,000 years ago, Greenland was, well, green, scientists say. According to a new study released Thursday, the massive island was an ice-free tundra landscape – perhaps covered by trees.
Greenland's ice sheets may hold one 12th of the world's fresh water -- enough to raise the sea level up seven metres (23 feet) if they were to melt -- but climate change is already threatening the ...
Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Greenland's ice cap is melting at a rate 20% faster than previous estimates, contributing significantly to global sea level rise and altering climate systems.
