The great ice streams of the Antarctic and Greenland are like frozen rivers, carrying ice from the massive inland ice sheets ...

By using a fiber-optic cable to detect tiny vibrations a mile below the surface, scientists discovered a surprising way that ...

The research station and borehole are located on the North East Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS), significantly contributing to ...

An international team of researchers has shown that countless tiny ice quakes take place in one of Greenland's mightiest ice streams. This finding will allow the flowing of the ice sheet and ...

By analyzing sulfur and volcanic ash entrained in ice cores, researchers pinpointed a caldera in the remote Kuril Islands as ...

Finally, where the ice meets the ocean and no scientist would ever dare to stand, they can be monsters more than 100 meters from wall to wall. And across Greenland, they are growing. It shouldn ...

A new large-scale study of crevasses on the Greenland Ice Sheet shows that those cracks are widening faster as the climate warms, which is likely to speed ice loss and global sea level rise.

The synchronization of data from two natural climate archives -- a speleothem from the Herbstlabyrinth Cave in Hesse (Germany) and ice cores from Greenland -- offers new insights into the ...

During the Cold War, the U.S. built a military base under the ice in Greenland, hidden from the Soviets. It was eventually abandoned, but its most lasting legacy is a pivotal role in climate science.

Analysis of the ice core showed that these volcanic particles originate ... The research station and borehole are located on the North East Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS), around 400 kilometres from the ...
