In higher elevations, firn, frozen water that is something between snow and ice, covers the top of glaciers. Firn plays a critical role in regulating glacial meltwater and sea level rise. It does this ...

Global sea levels have not continued to rise at the rates predicted by many scientists — and there is no evidence that climate change has contributed to any such acceleration, a new first-of-its-kind ...

One recent study compiling sea level rise data shows oceans are not surging as much as the scientific world previously projected and corporate media has repeatedly sounded the alarm over. The Journal ...

Konrad "Koni" Steffen was in his favorite place on Earth when he disappeared in August 2020. At 68, the pioneering scientist — who first sounded the alarm on how Greenland was raising sea levels ...
