In April 2024, a NASA research jet scanning Greenland's ice for sea-level clues unexpectedly uncovered Camp Century, a buried ...

Seismic imaging detects subglacial sediments up to 650 feet thick, letting glaciers slide faster over soft beds than rock and ...

Greenland's mountains greatly affect local climate patterns.

This is the view described by Durham glaciologist Tom Chudley, when writing about his research showing the Greenland ice ...

Greenland's ice flows The study shows the rapid flow of ice, moving at average speeds of up to 15 m per day, from glaciers and ice sheets at points around the Greenland Ice Sheet (see image below).

Listen to Paul Bierman, an expert on Greenland’s ice, talk to The Conversation Weekly podcast about the history of the island ...

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.) That’s imprudent, because the Arctic’s climate is changing more rapidly than anywhere ...
