Greenland is home to the planet’s largest ice sheet outside of Antarctica. Observations collected from the ground, air, and space have revealed rapid thinning in the northeast part of this ice sheet that could contribute more to sea level rise than previously thought. “Rivers” of relatively fast-moving ice, known as ice streams, generally flow from […]

A massive Antarctic glacier is less stable and could potentially cause more and more rapid sea level rise than previously predicted, a study published Monday in Nature Geoscience finds. The Thwaites Glacier, known as the “doomsday glacier” because it holds enough water to raise global sea levels by multiple feet, is especially susceptible to rising […]

A team of climate scientists led by professor Jason Box of the National Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) say that even if we stopped putting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere today, the amount of sea level rise from melting of the ice pack that covers most of Greenland will lead to a […]
