A sudden flood from a hidden lake beneath Greenland's ice sheet reveals a powerful meltwater process not currently accounted for in climate change models. As global warming intensifies, researchers ...

BELLINGHAM, Wash. — A team of researchers from Western Washington University (WWU) spent the past week in Greenland, conducting climate research focused on the Greenland ice sheet, the world’s second ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Ancient sediment pulled from nearly a mile below the Greenland ice sheet — and later stored for roughly two decades at the University at Buffalo, whose researchers are still studying ...

High over the frozen surface of Greenland, a new tool is rewriting what scientists know about how water moves through the Arctic sky. A drone, equipped with custom instruments, has provided the first ...

In the 1990s, the Greenland Ice Sheet as well as the rest of the Arctic region were observed to be measurably thawing as a result of human-caused global warming. At that time, most of Antarctica’s ...
