A prolonged period of extensive ice sheet melting from roughly July 7 to July 20 tipped the 2025 melt season to above the ...

If the entire Greenland ice sheet melted, global sea levels would rise by about 24 feet. The NEGIS is how a good deal of that planet-altering flood would enter the sea.

The Greenland ice sheet — the world's second-largest body of ice — may now be on an irreversible path toward disappearing.

Greenland’s ice-covered landscape looks like an immovable block on satellite maps. Yet the story beneath its center suggests ...

A new study finds Greenland has seen its warmest temperatures in last 1,000 years, which is causing the ice sheet to melt. Here's why that matters.

The Greenland Ice Sheet has once again taken on a surreal summer appearance, this time captured in striking detail by NASA’s ...

Scientific studies from beneath Greenland’s vast ice sheet have revealed that the region may be far more vulnerable to melting than previously thought and that threatens a dramatic rise in sea levels ...

Greenland is losing the battle against rising air and ocean temperatures, a new study finds. The last bulwark to fall is the northeast corner of the Greenland Ice Sheet, which started shrinking ...

Recent temperatures in Greenland’s ice sheet—one of the primary culprits behind rising seas—were the warmest they’ve been in at least 1,000 years, according to a new report, ...

Like the inverse of a butterfly flapping its wings in China, ice cores extracted in Greenland show the rise and fall of ...

Greenland, home to the world's second largest ice sheet, is melting at such an alarming rate that scientists are warning it's on track with worst-case scenario models for the year 2070.

Greenland's ice sheet dumps more than 280 billion metric tons of melting ice into the ocean each year. Even if global warming were to stop today, the ice sheet would continue shrinking.
