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

Greenland’s ice sheet is melting at an alarming rate, contributing to rising sea levels worldwide. But a new discovery could ...

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

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

That’s imprudent, because the Arctic’s climate is changing more rapidly than anywhere on Earth. Such rapid warming further ...

The melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is the single largest contributor of freshwater to global sea-level rise. Previous ...

An ice sheet, up to 2 miles thick ... Permafrost melt is already threatening the U.S. military base on Greenland. As the ice melts and the ground settles under runways, cracks and craters form ...

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

Most people probably think of glaciers as massive blocks of white ice. But many glaciers have dark patches because of the ...

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

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