For most of us, first-hand knowledge of Greenland is probably limited to flying over it en route to North America. It's ...

The world's two gigantic ice sheets are in greater peril from global warming than previously thought, a study published May 20 says.

Greenland is losing ice faster than expected, changing its coastline and affecting global sea levels and climate patterns.

It's getting hotter in Greenland, and last weekend temperatures rose enough to cause 18 billion tons of the country's ice sheet to melt over three days. Scientists have warned about the ...

“If the Greenland ice sheet could melt substantially in the past, it is going to change our projections for the future,” said Christ, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Vermont.

Factor in temperatures that drop to -57°C and a few of us might be put off - but for glaciologist Liz Morris, that's very much her happy place. Liz is an Emeritus Associate at the University of ...

The researchers stressed that even in the best-case climate scenarios, the melting process is unlikely to slow down meaningfully. Data collected from ice cores and seabed sediments indicate that past ...

In a new study published in Nature, which is based on satellite data, climate models, paleoclimate records, ice cores, deep-sea sediments, and even octopus DNA, underscores the dire consequences of ...

Efforts to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C under the Paris Climate Agreement may not go far enough to save the ...
