Ice sheets respond slowly to changes in climate, because they are so massive that they themselves dominate the climate conditions over and around them. But once they start flowing faster towards the shore…

There is an enormous mass of ice beneath the Greenland ice sheet, which has melted and refrozen making the sheet ragged and…
The Greenland icecap will contribute more to rising seas than previously understood, thanks to exposure to warm waters. Using…
Warming in the Arctic has now reached the northernmost sections of the Greenland ice sheet. After a long period of stability (more than 25 years), we have found in a new study of the region that the northeast…
Greenland’s largest glacier is melting at the fastest speed ever recorded. Researchers found that the Jakobshavn Glacier…
A previously unknown canyon has been discovered in Greenland, hidden beneath the ice. It is at least 750 kilometres long. To put that in perspective, imagine a ten kilometre wide gorge, up to 800 metres…
Findings from a large-scale ice drilling study on the Greenland ice sheet may revise the models used to predict how ice sheets…
Science seems to be failing to change the minds of those who are sceptical about the reality of anthropogenic climate change. Chasing Ice - a film by Jeff Orlowski, playing in Australia currently - tries…
Global warming has caused nearly 200 billion tons of Greenland’s mass to disappear annually in the last decade but its icy centre actually grew, a new study has found. The melting of the Greenland ice…
The past is the key to the future. When snow falls on polar ice sheets, in Greenland and Antarctica for example, air is trapped between the snowflakes. Year after year, the snow compacts under its own…
