The fossil discovered at Sea-Tac Airport is at the Burke Museum, and named for the man who first came across it. Nearly 60% ...

Greenland's ice sheet currently spans over 1.7 million square kilometers and is the largest freshwater reservoir in the ...

Crevasses play an integral part in the life cycle of glaciers, and as they grow they hold the potential to further accelerate ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new large-scale study of crevasses on the world's second largest body of ice.

Greenland’s Ice Sheet is cracking open at the seams, literally falling apart at speeds indicative of the brutal and ...

As glacial ice flows, stress fractures that run tens of metres deep form in the glacier’s surface (pictured). These crevasses increase the rate of ice movement, which creates more cracks in a ...

Formed by stresses at the surface, their direction and size tell us how the ice sheet is flowing towards the ocean. Inland, far away from the fast-flowing glaciers that discharge hundreds of ...

The study found that crevasses are expanding more quickly than previously detected, and somewhere between 50 and 90 percent of the water flowing through the Greenland Ice Sheet goes through ...
