NASA, which has mapped Greenland's ice loss, says the sheet has "rapidly declined in the last several years," prompting the global sea level to rise around 0.03 inches per year.

The Earth is losing ice at a record speed chiefly due to warming from the ocean caused by climate change. A new study by NASA shows that Antarctica and Greenland’s ice sheets lost 118 gigatons ...

A research plane flies over the Greenland ice sheet. A team of NASA scientists deploys advanced radar technology to map the ice dimensionally. Images of an abandoned military station emerge ...

The Greenland ice sheet is a crucial bellwether for monitoring climate change. NASA satellite discovers alarming trend at Greenland ice sheet first appeared on The Cool Down.

Capital Weather Gang Greenland ice sheet experiences record loss to calving of glaciers and ocean melt over the past year The ice sheet lost more than it gained, for the 25th straight year.

NASA research shows decreases in Arctic sea ice and polar ice sheet mass since 1979. Surface temperatures have increased over the last 18 years.

Located across the middle of the vast Greenland ice sheet are a network of 16 climate stations, which track winds, snowfall accumulations, melting of snow and ice, sunlight and temperatures.

Nearly 40 years of satellite data from Greenland shows that glaciers on the island have shrunk so much that even if global warming were to stop today, the ice sheet would continue shrinking.

Using the most advanced Earth-observing laser instrument NASA has ever flown in space, scientists have made precise, detailed measurements of how the elevation of the Greenland and Antarctic ice ...

This week, NASA announced a surprising finding. Earlier this month, the surface of the ice sheet covering Greenland melted more widely than has been seen in 33 years of satellite imagery.

The melting of the Greenland ice sheet could cause a devastating sea level rise of nearly a foot, according to a new study.

As a NASA science flight was flying over the Greenland ice sheet this spring, a surprise popped up on a specialty radar: a hidden Cold War city more than 100 feet beneath the ice.
