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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Ice, ironically, defines Greenland. Up to almost two miles thick in places, the ice that envelops the austerely beautiful island determines its ecology, its economy and its culture. What scientists ...

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 ...

Greenland’s massive cap of ice, containing enough fresh water to raise sea levels by 23 feet, is in serious trouble. Between 2002 and 2023, Greenland lost 270 billion tons of frozen water each year as ...

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 ...

One of the buzziest technologies in modern science may be running right under your feet. Fiber optic cables bring you the internet as data-rich pulses of light, but they also detect signals from the ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Much like the ice he helped preserve for decades, Chester “Chet” Langway’s legacy at the University at Buffalo endures. Faculty here are still studying the ancient sediments that ...
