Greenland’s Melting Glaciers Expose 1,620 km of New Coastline Since 2000
Over the past 20 years, Greenland’s glaciers have melted enough to expose 1,620 kilometres of new coastline, altering the Arctic’s geography. Satellite data from 2000 to 2020 tracked these changes, showing significant ice loss. The study also identified 35 newly exposed islands, some of which remain unclaimed on existing maps. Scientists warn o...

Study Warns Greenland Glacier Is Melting Away With The Tide
Their research is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

Greenland Ice Melting Now Irreversible, Has Passed "Tipping Point": Study
The melting of Greenland's ice cap has gone so far that it is now irreversible, with snowfall no longer able to compensate for the loss of ice even if global warming were to end today, according to researchers.

In 'OMG' Mission, Scientists In 1940s Plane Check Greenland's Melting Ice
Skimming low over the gleaming white glaciers on Greenland's coast in a modified 1940s plane, three NASA scientists, led by an Elvis-impersonating oceanographer, waited to drop a probe into the water beneath them.

Photographer James Balog Captures World's Glacier Melt Over Decade
For the last decade, American photographer James Balog has been on a mission to document climate change through his camera lens. His effort has taken him to the farthest reaches of the world, from Antarctica to the northern ends of Greenland, where he has captured the movements and melts of immense glaciers.

NASA Took On An Unprecedented Study Of Greenland's Melting. Now, The Data Are Coming In.
Back in 2015, in a moment of science communication genius, NASA created a mission called "OMG." The acronym basically ensured that a new scientific mission - measuring how quickly the Oceans are Melting Greenland - would get maximum press attention.

The Latest Disaster Risk From Climate Change - Huge Glacial Floods
We all hear about how the glaciers of Greenland and Antarctica are losing ice, and so threatening to raise our sea levels -- perhaps quite dramatically.

NASA to Study Climate Change From the Sky
Starting 2015, NASA will send five new airborne field campaigns to the skies to investigate how long-range air pollution, warming ocean waters and fires in Africa affect our climate.
