Big U-turn: Key melting Greenland glacier is growing again
A major Greenland glacier that was one of the fastest shrinking ice and snow masses on Earth is growing again, a new NASA study finds.
Global warming is now changing how Earth wobbles
Global warming is shifting the way the Earth wobbles on its polar axis, a new NASA study finds.
Darker ice causes Greenland to melt faster: study
Greenland’s snow-white ice is getting darker and melting faster, according to a new study, published in the European Geosciences Union journal The Cryosphere.
New discovery about Greenland could be making sea-level rise worse
Analyzing a new study, Washington Post reports that rising global temperatures may be affecting the Greenland ice sheet and its contribution to sea-level rise in more serious ways that scientists imagined.
'Dramatic retreat' seen in Greenland glacier
A major glacier in northeastern Greenland is rapidly crumbling into the Atlantic Ocean and experts warned on Thursday the breakup will likely raise global sea level by 18 inches (a half meter).
Scientists reveal a bit of good news about Greenland’s great melt
Climate change is speeding up the melting of the great sheet of ice covering Greenland, a frozen mass the size of Alaska that holds an estimated 10 percent of the world’s ice and scientists are sure of it, reports news and lifestyle magazine TakePart.
Greenland's Jakobshavn Glacier sheds big ice chunk
Scientists are studying a big mass of ice that has broken off the Jakobshavn Glacier in Greenland.
Seas could rise 6m even if govts curb warming: Study
Sea levels could rise by at least six metres (20 feet) in the long term, swamping coasts from Florida to Bangladesh, even if governments achieve their goals for curbing global warming, according to a study.
