Remnants of the Laurentide ice sheet lasted until about 7,000 years ago. Climate simulations show that they caused the multimillennial delay between maximum early Holocene solar radiation and ...

FARGO — Twenty thousand years ago, at the peak of the last major world glaciation, the Laurentide ice sheet covered our region in ice to a depth of about one mile. The massive glacier may have ...

A newly discovered mechanism for the flow and freezing of ice sheet meltwater could improve estimates of sea level rise around the globe. Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin, in ...

Imagine that a massive ice sheet covered Canada and oozed down over a large part of the northern United States, like icing spilling down the side of a cake. That was the situation, somewhere ...

The lingering Laurentide Ice Sheet may have masked the true extent of Antarctic ice loss—offering a warning for future change. 100% = global mean sea level rise; areas above saw higher-than ...

Greenland is the world’s largest island and is covered with a sheet of ice that, if it melted entirely, could raise sea levels by more than 20 feet.

A rediscovered sample of frozen sediment, collected more than 50 years ago, highlights the vulnerability of Greenland’s ice sheet to a warming climate. By Emily Anthes In 1966, scientists at ...
