Scientists have discovered an ancient lakebed buried under more than a mile of ice that may hold secrets to Greenland's past climate.
The lake formed when northwest Greenland was ice-free, sometime…
Amount of ocean heat delivered to the Arctic has increased markedly since 2001, according to research
An underwater heat blob from the Atlantic is delivering more and more warmth to the Arctic,…
Greenland’s three biggest glaciers added the equivalent of around 8mm to global sea levels from 1880 to 2012, study says.
Greenland’s largest glaciers are currently melting at levels close to what…
A new study claims we may have already reached a hypothetical ‘point of no return’, but other researchers say this is ‘at odds’ with what we know about climate science. Daisy Dunne examines the…
David Nowell thinks Extinction Rebellion should focus on insulating homes, running public transport cooperatives and campaigning for major economic reforms, while Iain Climie says late Arctic ice…
A giant, catastrophic tsunami in Alaska triggered by a landslide of rock left unstable after glacier melting is likely to occur in the next two decades, scientists fear - and it could happen within…
Some of the solutions sound fantastical – but their proponents argue that there are precious few other options.
Time is running out for the Arctic. The region continues to warm at two or three times…
Scientists are warning of a link between rapid warming and landslides that could threaten towns and tourist attractions.
In Alaska and other high, cold places around the world, new research shows…
Rising temperatures in the air and the water surrounding Greenland are melting its massive ice sheet at a faster rate than anytime in the last 12 millennia, according to a new study published…
The Earth is changing faster than at any point in modern history as a result of human-caused global heating. From the mid-19th century, when we began burning fossil fuels on an industrial scale, we…
The change will take thousands of years, but we only have a century to stop it.
Antarctica contains more than half of the world's freshwater in its sprawling, frozen ice sheet, but humanity's…
Every year, sea ice cover in the Arctic Ocean shrinks to a low point in mid-September. This year it measures just 1.44 million square miles (3.74 million square kilometers) – the second-lowest value …
Research says melting will continue even if temperature rises are limited to 2C.
Melting of the Antarctic ice sheet will cause sea level rises of about two and a half metres around the world, even…
Sea ice minimum has fallen below 4m sq km for the second time in 40 years as the climate crisis rapidly transforms the region.
Rising temperatures in the Arctic shrank the ice covering the polar…
Many parts of the Earth’s climate system have been destabilised by warming, from ice sheets and ocean currents to the Amazon rainforest – and scientists believe that if one collapses others could…
A recent Science Magazine feature blamed an underwater heat blob for exacerbating sea ice loss as it proclaimed what many Arctic scientists already know: Arctic sea ice is racing toward its demise…
Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier has been called the "Doomsday Glacier." Thwaites and its neighbor, the Pine Island Glacier, are among those in West Antarctica most influenced by the climate crisis.
