The Greenland Ice Sheet is leaking mercury — likely natural, but still dangerous
It raises the possibility that other melting glaciers are behaving the same way.
Global ice loss rate increased by over 65% in the last two decades
People, we have to chill here. Literally.
Ancient Mars watercourses may have been carved by ice sheets, not flowing rivers
A new study casts doubt over the conventional view of what early Mars looked like.
Antarctica is losing six times more ice than 40 years ago
There's enough ice in Antarctica to raise sea levels by 60 meters -- and it's now on a slippery slope.
Greenland melting is ‘off the charts’ — It’s unprecedented in the last 400 years, scientists warn
In the past 20 years, Greenland's ice sheet has been melting at six-fold the rate seen before the Industrial Revolution.
What Greenland’s landscape looks like without any ice
Let's hope this landscape is never in the open.
Unless coal is phased out by 2050, Antarctica’s melting ice sheet could drive a massive surge in sea level rise
Some countries are already planning to phase out coal by 2030 but it's not enough.
Global sea levels rose 50% faster than two decades ago because of Greenland’s melting ice sheet
The cost of non-action could be dramatic by the end of the century.
West Antarctic ice sheet is melting from the inside, signaling an accelerated collapse
The ice shelf is far more fragile than we hoped.
New subglacial lakes discovered in Greenland accelerating melting
Using satellite imagery, scientists have discovered two new subglacial lakes under Greenland's ice sheet bringing the total number to four. ...
Global warming will open shipping routes directly through the North Pole by 2050
A group of researchers assessed seven individual climate models and found that in each case common open water vessels will ...
Antarctic rift the size of the Grand Canyon speeds ice sheet melting
Scientists from Britain have found a remote ice rift valley, up to one mile deep, under the ice in Antarctica. The ...
Iceberg twice the size of Manhattan breaks off Greenland glacier
Researchers at the University of Delaware and the Canadian Ice Service recently reported that an ice island, whose surface is ...
Ice sheets in Antarctica formed by massive fall in CO2
Antarctica is the most the arid place on Earth. Its climate is so rough, so hazardous that no permanent human populace can ...
Warm summers cause extreme ice melting in Greenland
Recently a study was conducted by a team led by Dr Edward Hanna at the University of Sheffield which demonstrated ...
