The great ice streams of the Antarctic and Greenland are like frozen rivers, carrying ice from the massive inland ice sheets ...

An international team of researchers has shown that countless tiny ice quakes take place in one of Greenland's mightiest ice streams. This finding will allow the flowing of the ice sheet and ...

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

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.

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

Bouncing back from under the weight of Ice Age glaciers which have long since vanished, the Nordic region land mass is slowly rising above sea level. Two scientists at Sweden’s KTH Royal Institute of ...

Additionally, the global rate of sea-level rise is accelerating. Satellite measurements of sea surface heights over the last 30 years suggest that the global rate of sea-level rise has more than ...

When students checked the satellite images again in September, the island was completely submerged. Since 1993, the global average sea level rise has been just shy of 4 inches as of 2023 ...

A recent U.S. Geological Survey study projects that rising sea levels and stronger, more intense storms will exacerbate four ...

Sarah Kaplan and Bonnie Jo Mount traveled to four islands of the Seychelles and a geochemistry lab in Madison, Wis. to document how fossil corals are helping scientists predict future sea level rise.
