The longest core of rock ever extracted from beneath Greenland’s thick ice could hold clues about how quickly the island’s frozen covering will melt as the planet warms. Preliminary analysis ...

A recently-discovered ice core taken from beneath Greenland’s ice sheet decades ago reveals that much of the country was ice-free around 400,000 years ago – an alarming finding that could have ...

But in 2019, while rinsing the sediment from the bottom of a core from Camp Century, a 1960s ice sheet boring site near the perimeter of the Greenland ice sheet, he saw familiar floating black flecks.

New ice core data shows Greenland is the warmest it’s been in more than 1,000 years. Scientists say warming in Greenland in the past may have been masked by local weather variability. But not ...

A sharp rise in Greenland temperatures since 1995 showed the giant northern island 2.7 degrees higher than its 20th century average, the highest in more than 1,000 years, according to new ice core ...

A rediscovered sample of frozen sediment, collected more than 50 years ago, highlights the vulnerability of Greenland’s ice sheet to a warming climate. By Emily Anthes In 1966, scientists at ...

Meanwhile, the Greenland ice sheet is losing around 250 billion metric tons of ice each year. That doesn’t mean the ice sheet is in imminent danger of losing all its ice.

Dorthe Dahl-Jensen, a Danish ice-core climatologist, first came to the Greenland ice sheet in 1981. Back then, “no one was talking about global warming,” she says.
