In northwestern Greenland, researchers working on the GreenDrill project have cored through a 500-meter-thick ice dome. They ...

For most of us, first-hand knowledge of Greenland is probably limited to flying over it en route to North America. It’s likely that you’ve heard more about it over the last few months than in the rest ...

Scientists probing for Earth's oldest continuous ice core near the South Pole Basin have uncovered disturbed basal layers and ...

The Prudhoe ice dome disappeared during a warm period 7000 years ago. Global warming could cause similar temperatures by 2100 ...

Major ice loss from Greenland is exposing the island's natural resources, inadvertently making some of the world's largest untapped critical mineral reserves more accessible. Stream NBC 5 for free, 24 ...

Rising temperatures of the world's oceans threaten to accelerate the melting and splintering of glaciers—thereby potentially increasing the number of icebergs and, with it, the need to better ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

When we think of global warming, what first comes to mind is the air: crushing heatwaves that are felt rather than seen, ...

Dartmouth oceanographer Yoshihiro Nakayama created a high-resolution model to study the melting of two glaciers in western ...

The geoengineering experiment sought to use tiny silica beads to reflect sunlight away from Earth. A geoengineering project that was testing a novel way of cooling the planet has come to an end amid ...

New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...
