As Greenland's ice retreats, it's fueling tiny ocean organisms. To test why, scientists turned to a computer model from JPL ...

At the center of Greenland, where the planet’s largest ice sheet pours down into the Arctic air, a weather station recently ...

The wind, having tumbled down 4,000 feet of elevation from the domed summit of the ice sheet hundreds of miles to the west, charged over the surface in wavelike pulses. The GreenDrill site sat on ...

Downstream from the crater left behind by the drainage, researchers identified an odd region of disrupted ice. Though the ice ...

A hidden lake beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet unexpectedly drained more than a decade ago, fracturing the ice surface and ...

Earth's 'catastrophic' ice melt problem is worse than previously thought, study says The world's two gigantic ice sheets are in greater peril from global warming than previously thought, a study ...

Interest in Greenland’s minerals is soaring, driven in part by Trump, who has said the U.S. must “get” the island. But the ...

An aerial view of meltwater lakes formed at the Russell Glacier front, part of the Greenland ice sheet in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, on Aug. 16, 2022.

The Greenland ice sheet contains about 8% of the planet’s freshwater, and its meltwater could contribute significantly to rising sea levels, changing ocean circulation and ecosystems worldwide. The ...

Ice loss in Greenland is already large, irreversible, and greatly accelerated after centuries of near stability. Though a tipping point for future ice loss has already been crossed, the pace of this ...
