[ad_1] Greenland is the largest island in the world and on it lies the largest mass of ice in the Northern Hemisphere. If all that ice melted, the sea would rise over 7 meters. But it won’t happen, will it? Well, not very soon, but figuring out how much of …

[ad_1] Greenland is known as the major contributor to sea level rise. However, a recent report investigates how it could lose more ice to the island’s glaciers than traditionally predicted. According to a report published Tuesday in Nature, Greenland’s three major glaciers are responsible for about 12% of the global …

[ad_1] Paris – According to research released on Tuesday, Greenland’s three largest glaciers, which contain enough ice water to raise global sea level by about 1.3 meters, could melt faster than even worst-case warming predictions. Until 2000, the main driver of sea level rise was the melting of glaciers and …

[ad_1] According to new research, a giant underground river fueled by melting ice could flow in a state of perennial darkness far below Greenland’s surface. Dubbed the ‘dark river’, this hypothetical waterway – if it really exists, that is – can extend for 1,000 kilometers (620 miles), flowing from the …

[ad_1] Scientists have discovered a huge lake bed hidden deep beneath Greenland’s thick ice sheet. The lake would have covered 2,700 square miles, although it’s hard to say how old the lake really is. Sediment analysis would reveal the age of the lake, but it would take a lot of …

[ad_1] The remains of a gigantic ancient lake have been discovered beneath Greenland, buried deep beneath the ice sheet in the northwest of the country and are estimated to be hundreds of thousands of years, if not millions, scientists say. The enormous “ fossil lake bed ” is a phenomenon …

[ad_1] The ancient basin, now under a mile of ice, is shaped like a cleaver. Image: Paxman et al., EPSL, 2020 Using radar and other ice-penetrating tools, scientists have detected a “fossil lake bed” preserved under the Greenland ice sheet, in what is the first discovery of its kind. Now …

[ad_1] The rapid melting is reshaping the coast of Greenland, potentially altering the human and animal ecosystems along the country’s coast. New research published in Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface on October 27 he discovers that the retreat of Greenland’s ice has changed the way glaciers flow and where …
