Artificial intelligence helps experts forecast icebergs
University of Sheffield experts use machine learning to predict seasonal iceberg numbers for the first time.
Melting permafrost: the threat of prehistoric mud
The melting of the subsoil of the Artic territories is a factor of growing concern to scientists.
Cornell geologists detect rapid ‘ice stream’ at Arctic glacier
Cornell geologists, examining the desolate Vavilov ice cap on the northern fringe of Siberia in the Arctic Circle, have for the first time observed the rapid ice loss from an improbable new river of ice, according to new work in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
Could we cool the Earth with an ice-free Arctic?
The Arctic region is heating up faster than any other place on Earth, and as more and more sea ice is lost every year, we are already feeling the impacts.
Greenland’s rapid melt will mean more flooding
The Greenland Ice Sheet is rapidly melting, having lost 3.8 trillion tons of ice between 1992 and 2018, a new study from NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) finds.
Drone images show Greenland Ice Sheet becoming more unstable as it fractures
The world’s second-largest ice sheet, and the single largest contributor to global sea level rise, is potentially becoming unstable because of fractures developing in response to faster ice flow and more meltwater forming on its surface.
2019 concludes a decade of exceptional global heat and high-impact weather
The year 2019 concludes a decade of exceptional global heat, retreating ice and record sea levels driven by greenhouse gases from human activities.
‘Dream team’ to study ice loss on critical Greenland glacier to better forecast rising oceans
Last month a new projection of sea-level rise by the year 2050 spurred headlines showing more coastal cities around the world will be submerged than earlier models have predicted.
Dust in East Greenland ice samples provides new insight into climate change
Scientists have developed a method that can map the advancement of glaciers in cold periods and their melting in warmer periods. The data may be used to predict sea level rise.
World scientists declare climate emergency, establish global indicators for effective action
A global coalition of scientists led by William J.
IPCC report warns of a gloomy future for oceans and cryosphere
The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report highlights the urgency of prioritizing timely, ambitious and coordinated action to address unprecedented and enduring changes in the ocean and cryosphere.
Global climate in 2015-2019: Climate change accelerates
The tell-tale signs and impacts of climate change – such as sea level rise, ice loss and extreme weather – increased during 2015-2019, which is set to be the warmest five-year period on record, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
WMO report: Climate change is accelerating
The tell-tale signs and impacts of climate change – such as sea level rise, ice loss and extreme weather – increased during 2015-2019, which is set to be the warmest five-year period on record, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
Could the Loch Ness monster be a giant eel?
University of Otago geneticist, Professor Neil Gemmell announced the results of investigations into the environmental DNA present in the British Isles largest and second deepest body of fresh water, Loch Ness.
NASA’s GRACE-FO shows the weight of Midwestern floods
In May 2019, after the wettest 12 months ever recorded in the Mississippi River Basin, the region was bearing the weight of 8 to 12 inches (200 to 300 millimeters) more water than average.
New study underlines sea level rise in the Arctic ocean
Sea levels in the Arctic oceans have risen an average of 2.2 millimeters per year over the last 22 years.This is the conclusion reached by a Danish-German research team after analyzing 1.5 billion radar measurements from satellites.
Researchers discover ice is sliding toward edges off Greenland Ice Sheet
Ice on the Greenland Ice Sheet doesn’t just melt.
A clearer picture of global ice sheets
Fluctuations in the masses of the world’s largest ice sheets carry important consequences for future sea level rise, but understanding the complicated interplay of atmospheric conditions, snowfall input and melting processes has never been easy to measure due to the sheer size and remoteness inherent to glacial landscapes.
A new heatwave hits Europe
For the second time in less than one month, a widespread and intense heatwave impacted Europe, with many new maximum and minimum temperature records, disruption to transport and infrastructure and stress on people's health and the environment.
Underwater glacial melting is occurring at higher rates than modeling predicts
