Two studies noted that current measurements and simulations may not adequately consider processes that retain meltwater.

Normally acting as a sponge for refreezing meltwater, the snowy layer covering the ice sheet in Greenland is important for the overall fate of the ice sheet, but it’s changing in ways researchers ...

For nearly a decade, Leigh Stearns and collaborators aimed a laser scanner system at Greenland's Helheim Glacier. Their ...

Scientists have uncovered how massive underwater waves triggered by iceberg calving secretly fuel glacier melt in Greenland. Iceberg calving takes place when large sections of ice detach from the ...

Earth may be on the verge of crossing several climate change tipping points that could have irreversible and devastating ...

As the planet warms, it risks crossing catastrophic tipping points: thresholds where Earth systems, such as ice sheets and rainforests, change irreversibly over human lifetimes. Worse, these systems ...
