The marine ice sheet sits on bedrock below sea level, contains glaciers that flow toward the sea and is surrounded by floating ice shelves. Outside researchers said the study represented an ...

There may be hope for the Greenland ice sheet after all. In fact, according to a new study published Wednesday, the massive ice sheet is likely to be more resistant to global warming than had been ...

It's happening even faster than expected, authors warn in the study published in the journal Communications Earth and Environment. “Recent satellite-based observations of ice sheet mass loss ...

Early models suggested Greenland’s ice sheet would destabilize at around 3°C of warming, but recent estimates show it could happen at about 1.5°C. The study concludes that to prevent rapid ice ...

A new large-scale study of crevasses on the Greenland Ice Sheet shows that those cracks are widening faster as the climate warms, which is likely to speed ice loss and global sea level rise.

A new study published in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems revealed a potential "ticking time bomb" beneath ...

The ice sheet has already lost over a trillion tonnes of its total mass since the 1980s, with melting rates six times higher in the last decade. Indeed, a recent study found that an average of 30 ...

A new study found on Wednesday that part of Greenland’s ice sheet is thinning further inland than previously believed, which is likely to lead to a greater rise in sea levels by the end of this ...

The data indicates that the Thwaites Glacier and much of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet could be lost entirely by the 23rd century. Worryingly, if it collapses entirely, the experts say global sea ...
