A well-timed atmospheric river dropped enough snow on Greenland for its ice sheet to lose 8% less mass than expected.

Climate scientists thought stronger atmospheric rivers would accelerate Greenland's ice loss—but it might actually be slowing ...

As the planet heats up and Antarctica’s ice sheet melts at a faster pace, scientists warn of a steady rise in sea levels.

Stanford researchers have integrated machine learning with high-resolution satellite and aerial observations to analyze the ...

Ice loss in Greenland is already large, irreversible, and greatly accelerated after centuries of near stability. Though a ...
