The study is the first attempt to model the uncertain atmosphere and ocean processes that could doom the sheet's ice shelves, leading to considerable sea level rise. IE 11 is not supported.

The window of concern hovered about 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, or 2 degrees Celsius, above pre-industrial levels (Earth has already warmed about 2F, or 1.1C).If the ice sheet started down the path ...

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 ...

Even if the entire world stopped burning fossil fuels today, a new study finds the Greenland ice sheet would still lose enough ice to add nearly a foot to rising sea levels.. Melting over the past ...

The study reached a more drastic conclusion than earlier assessments in part because it used a different method to gauge ice loss. By Elena Shao The melting of the Greenland ice sheet could ...

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

World, Science-Technology, Environment Study warns of accelerated ice sheet melting, rising sea levels Even 1.5°C increase may not be sufficient to prevent ice sheets melting, says new study ...

Science New 3-D Study of the Greenland Ice Sheet Shows Glaciers Falling Apart Faster Than Expected Crevasses are widening faster as meltwater drives fissures deeper into the ice and lubricates the ...

The rate at which the West Antarctic ice sheet is melting will accelerate over the coming decades and is now an "unavoidable" consequence of climate change, a new study finds.
