The melting today on Greenland’s ice sheet is roughly equal to the greatest rates of ice loss in the last 12,000 years, a new study shows. But if greenhouse gas emissions are not curbed, the ice ...

Ice collapsing off the Russell Glacier in Greenland. Researchers agree that ice-sheet melt in Greenland will lead to at least several inches of global sea-level rise by the end of the century ...

Scientists have warned about the fate of Greenland's ice sheet and say what happened between July 15 and 17 is the latest massive melting event contributing to an increase in the global sea level.

"Even weather stations quite high up on the ice sheet observed very high temperatures on Monday," said Robert Fausto, a scientist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland who maintains ...

Using the UK's national supercomputer, researchers developed four future melting projections. In the best-case projection, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet melts three times faster in the 21st century ...

A new source of melting at the bottom of ice sheets could mean they thaw more quickly and raise sea levels faster than previously thought. Ice sheets, glacial features which cover an area greater ...

The Greenland ice sheet is in the middle of one of its greatest melting events ever. NPR's Audie Cornish talks with climate scientist Twila Moon about what that means for sea levels and beyond.

The Greenland ice sheet is melting faster today than at any point in the last 350 years, according to a new study published in the journal Nature. The research is the first continuous, multi ...

Greenland ’s ice sheets are melting faster than at any time in the last 400 years, researchers have warned.
