Deep beneath Greenland’s vast ice sheet, scientists are uncovering a hidden source of heat that could accelerate melting and ...

Greenland has large deposits of rare earth minerals along its coasts, but these are also geologically hazardous regions. Alex Hibbert/The Image Bank via Getty Images That’s imprudent, because the ...

Greenland appears at first glance to be fixed and unchanging, with clear borders on maps and solid land beneath the ice, but ...

When talking about climate change, sea level rise is often brought up as one of the devastating consequences. Melting glaciers and emaciated polar bears have become infamous images over the decades, ...

Most people probably think of glaciers as massive blocks of white ice. But many glaciers have dark patches because of the growth of algae, which can survive on the surface of the ice. These dark ...

Greenland’s rapidly melting ice sheet will eventually raise global sea level by at least 10.6 inches (27 centimeters) — more than twice as much as previously forecast — according to a study published ...

Ice, ironically, defines Greenland. Up to almost two miles thick in places, the ice that envelops the austerely beautiful island determines its ecology, its economy and its culture. What scientists ...

To say the 2016 Greenland melt season is off to the races is an understatement. Warm, wet conditions rapidly kicked off the melt season this weekend, more than a month-and-a-half ahead of schedule. It ...

A pair of NASA satellite images taken just four days apart tells a potentially worrying story of melting ice in the polar summer. The first, snapped from orbit on July 8, shows about 40 percent of the ...
