By using a fiber-optic cable to detect tiny vibrations a mile below the surface, scientists discovered a surprising way that ...
Greenland’s Ice Sheet is cracking open at the seams, literally falling apart at speeds indicative of the brutal and ...
Observing Greenland from a helicopter, the main problem is one of comprehending scale. I have thought we were skimming low ...
The great ice streams of the Antarctic and Greenland are like frozen rivers, carrying ice from the massive inland ice sheets ...
The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new ...
Crevasses can reach over 300 feet in width, thousands of feet in length, and hundreds of feet in depth. Research led by glaciologist Thomas Chudley from ...
Crevasses are widening faster as meltwater drives fissures deeper into the ice and lubricates the base of glaciers, ...
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.
