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.

The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are on course for rapid retreat, even collapse, leading to multiple feet of sea level ...

It's all to do with the Antarctic Ice Sheet, a vast body of frozen freshwater that contains approximately 750,000 cubic miles ...

The Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. As temperatures rise, that ice is melting, flowing into the ocean and making sea levels rise. While change in sea level rise is often measured in ...

If Earth stays at its current levels of warming — below policymakers’ goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius — polar ice sheets may melt ...

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 ...

Even 1.5°C increase may not be sufficient to prevent ice sheets melting, says new study, suggesting that global warming must ...

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 ...
