Greenland’s ice sheet is melting at an alarming rate, contributing to rising sea levels worldwide. But a new discovery could ...

The melting of the Greenland ice sheet is now the largest contributor to sea level rise, and scientists at UNH are traveling ...

Pigmented algae are well adapted to grow on exposed ice in the Arctic as the snow line recedes, raising concerns of a ...

The vast landmass is melting quickly due to climate change, and may rapidly cause the complete loss of the island's ice.

That’s imprudent, because the Arctic’s climate is changing more rapidly than anywhere on Earth. Such rapid warming further ...

Greenland's ice sheet currently spans over 1.7 million square kilometers and is the largest freshwater reservoir in the ...

Quakes recorded for the first time inside Greenland's biggest frozen river, the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream, suggest this ...

Most people probably think of glaciers as massive blocks of white ice. But many glaciers have dark patches because of the ...

The tiny ice inhabitants darken the glacier surface and can thus accelerate its melting.

Cutting-edge study reveals dark-pigmented microalgae's efficient nutrient uptake on Greenland ice sheet, intensifying melting and sea-level rise.

Ice streams like NEGIS carry massive amounts of ice from the interior of the Greenland ice sheet to the ocean, and their rate of flow is directly tied to how quickly sea levels rise. Until now ...
