The vast landmass is melting quickly due to climate change, and may rapidly cause the complete loss of the island's ice.

Pigmented algae are well adapted to grow on exposed ice in the Arctic as the snowline recedes, raising concerns of a feedback ...

Glaciers are huge white ice masses that can reflect a lot of sunlight. However, especially where the glaciers are not covered ...

While scientists once thought Greenland's ice streams flowed slowly and uniformly, new research reveals a quake-driven "stick ...

Cutting-edge study reveals dark-pigmented microalgae's efficient nutrient uptake on Greenland ice sheet, intensifying melting and sea-level rise.

Greenland's ice sheet currently spans over 1.7 million square kilometers and is the largest freshwater reservoir in the ...

New research reveals that ice algae can store nutrients which may enable them to colonize more of the ice sheet, darkening and melting it.

The melting of the Greenland ice sheet is now the largest contributor to sea level rise, and scientists at UNH are traveling ...

Researchers found that Greenland’s ice algae store phosphorus, allowing them to expand and darken ice surfaces, reducing ...

The tiny ice inhabitants darken the glacier surface and can thus accelerate its melting.
