But the Arctic amplification that results from vanishing sea ice signals deep trouble for the ice that’s on land — particularly the Greenland ice sheet. The warming ocean seeps underneath the ...

she said the ice sheet is projected to contribute up to 19 inches of global mean sea level rise by 2100. The new study reflects similar findings from recent studies in Greenland and the Arctic.

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

As the Arctic has warmed almost four times ... been the frigid heart of the ice sheet. If the entire Greenland Ice Sheet melts, sea level would rise by more than 7 meters (23 feet).

A haze of ice crystals in the air created a halo around the low sun as three snowmobiles thundered onto the sea ice on a ...

If Greenland’s ice sheet melts entirely, the consequences would be disastrous. A 23-foot rise in sea levels would submerge ... only icy region in peril. The Arctic is warming nearly four times ...

Collecting air samples in the Arctic is an expensive and technically ... when Earth was warmer than preindustrial levels, Greenland was covered by a significantly smaller ice sheet, and the sea level ...

In addition to being a critical habitat for arctic animals ... estimate that if the Greenland and Antarctic Ice sheet were to melt completely, the global sea levels would rise by 20 feet and ...

Winds from the Greenland Ice Sheet then blow the fragments around ... due to the effects of climate change, which have made Arctic sea ice thinner. "Historically, when more of the Arctic sea ...

The Greenland ice sheet is the largest single contributor to global sea level rise. Algae can darken the surface of the snow, causing it to absorb more sunlight and melt at faster rates.

Like an ice cube on a sultry summer day, Greenland’s ice sheet is melting, and that water, flowing into the ocean, is steadily raising sea level globally. The rising ocean is now endangering our ...
