The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new large-scale study of crevasses on the world's second largest body of ice.

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open at an accelerating pace, with crevasses growing larger and deeper due to the effects of climate change. A new study using high-resolution 3D mapping has reveal ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new large-scale study of crevasses on the world’s second largest body of ice.

Formed by stresses at the surface, their direction and size tell us how the ice sheet is flowing toward the ocean. Inland, far away from the fast-flowing glaciers that discharge hundreds of ...

The study found that crevasses are expanding more quickly than previously detected, and somewhere between 50 and 90 percent of the water flowing through the Greenland Ice Sheet goes through ...

As glacial ice flows, stress fractures that run tens of metres deep form in the glacier’s surface (pictured). These crevasses increase the rate of ice movement, which creates more cracks in a ...

Greenland's ice sheet is "more rapidly" cracking open as a result of climate change, according to a new study published on Monday. A new report by UK's Durham University, led by Tom Chudley ...
