The world's second biggest body of ice - the Greenland Ice Sheet - is cracking open quicker than scientists had previously ...

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

Crevasses can reach over 300 feet in width, thousands of feet in length, and hundreds of feet in depth. Research led by glaciologist Thomas Chudley from ...

The increased crevassing, especially prominent in fast-flowing portions of the ice sheet, could lead to a feedback loop that accelerates ice loss from the glacier, which ultimately raises sea levels.

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from NTU Singapore, and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), The Netherlands, ...

Sea level rise due to human induced climate change is a hot button topic. But as a new book reveals, its history has long been a struggle.

A new large-scale study of crevasses on the Greenland Ice Sheet shows that those cracks are widening faster as the climate ...

The Antarctic ice sheet is nearly twice the area of Australia and holds enough freshwater to raise global sea levels by 58 ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open at an accelerating pace, with crevasses growing larger and deeper due to the effects of climate change. A new study using high-resolution 3D mapping has reveal ...

Large-scale study finds crevasse sizes on Greenland ice sheet increasing in size and depth – and may cause more rapid loss of ...

“Refusing to turn off the oil taps means keeping the taps on for sea level rise,” James Kirkham, the chief science adviser at ICCI, said in a statement to The Guardian. “Accelerated ice melt ...

While impacts such as sea level rise and salinity changes are commonly reported, one lesser-known consequence is the effect on volcanoes. During deglaciation, melting of kilometers-thick ice ...
