Buried deep in Greenland's ice sheet lies a puzzling chemical signature that has sparked intense scientific debate. A sharp spike in platinum concentrations, discovered in an ice core (a cylinder of ...

The recent analysis of a 10,000-year-old ice core from Greenland has unveiled fascinating insights into Earth’s climate history, providing keys that may unlock the mystery of what lies ahead for our ...

Climate scientists thought stronger atmospheric rivers would accelerate Greenland's ice loss—but it might actually be slowing it down. reading time 3 minutes Greenland’s ice sheet is the ...

For the first time, researchers have collected detailed measurements of water vapor high above the surface of the Greenland ice sheet. Their research, aided by a custom-designed drone, could help ...

When talking about climate change, sea level rise is often brought up as one of the devastating consequences. Melting glaciers and emaciated polar bears have become infamous images over the decades, ...

A new study from Chloe Brashear, Tyler Jones and others suggests abrupt warming events were preceded by periods of unusually stable temperatures during the last ice age. The researchers point toward ...

Like the inverse of the mythical butterfly flapping its wings in China, an ice core extracted from Greenland can reveal the rise and fall of societies in European antiquity. A new study took ice cores ...

Glaciologist Alun Hubbard holds up part of a 15-meter-long ice core, collected in southeastern Greenland to study how atmospheric rivers impact the Greenland Ice Sheet. The visible divide between ice ...
