A first-of-its-kind study suggests the ongoing melting of Antarctica’s vast ice sheet could have direct implications for sea and air temperatures around New Zealand in the future.
Tiny Quakes Discovered Deep Within Greenland’s Ice Sheet Could Change Sea-Level Rise Predictions, Study Suggests While scientists once thought Greenland’s ice streams flowed slowly and ...
Greenland's ice sheet currently spans over 1.7 million square kilometers and is the largest freshwater reservoir in the northern hemisphere. The ice sheet has already lost over a trillion tonnes ...
