Interest in Greenland’s minerals is soaring, driven in part by Trump, who has said the U.S. must “get” the island. But the ...

We may need to rethink that old expression "Greenland is ice, Iceland is green." New research published Tuesday says that because of global warming, Greenland ’s ice sheet is melting fast ...

The melting today on Greenland’s ice sheet is roughly equal to the greatest rates of ice loss in the last 12,000 years, a new study shows. But if greenhouse gas emissions are not curbed, the ice ...

Greenland's ice sheet, the biggest ice sheet in the world behind Antarctica, has melted so much in the past decade that global sea levels rose by 1 centimeter, ...

Greenland is renowned for its substantial ice sheet. It appears on satellite maps as a massive, immobile, frozen block. But a ...

Greenland's ice sheet is second in size only to that of Antarctica, with both bodies stories about 68% of the world's freshwater resources, according to Copernicus, ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet managed to withstand the warming brought by the first 150 years of the industrial age, with enough snow piling up each winter to balance the ice lost to spring and summer ...

The fate of Greenland’s ice sheet is of critical importance to every coastal resident in the world, since Greenland is already the biggest contributor to modern-day sea level rise.

If the entire Greenland ice sheet melted, global sea levels would rise by about 24 feet. The NEGIS is how a good deal of that planet-altering flood would enter the sea.

Altogether, the Greenland ice sheet contains enough ice to raise global sea levels by about 24 feet. This isn’t happening in isolation: This summer has been horrific all across the Arctic.

This July alone, Greenland’s ice sheet lost 197 billion tons of ice – the equivalent of around 80 million Olympic swimming pools – according to Mottram.

The Greenland ice sheet contributed about twice the amount of water into the ocean that year, Tedesco said. While the record for the largest-ever melting was set that year, there is a possibility ...
