Greenland melted some 416,000 years ago, shows high risk of causing sea level rise today

EARTH
During the Cold War, a secret U.S. Army mission, at Camp Century in northwestern Greenland, drilled down through 4,560 feet of ice on the...

Why Antarctic ice shelves are losing their mass and how it leads to global sea level rise

OCEANOGRAPHY
The Greenland ice sheet (GIS) and Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) contribute largely to global mean sea level (GMSL) changes, though the seas surrounding the...

Antarctica sea ice melts to a record low

OCEANOGRAPHY
The Antarctic Ocean area covered by ice has shrunk to a record low, exposing the thicker ice shelves buttressing Antarctica's ground ice sheet to...

A warming climate is causing a decline in sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, where loss of sea ice has important ecological, economic and...

Sea level rise to dramatically speed up erosion of rock coastlines by 2100

OCEANOGRAPHY
Rock coasts, which make up over half the world's coastlines, could retreat more rapidly in the future due to accelerating sea level rise. This is...

Why the Salton Sea is turning into toxic dust

ENVIRONMENT
The Salton Sea, California's most polluted inland lake, has lost a third of its water in the last 25 years. New research has determined...

For the first time, we can measure the thickness of Arctic sea ice all year round

Using satellites, we are now able to measure ice thickness in the Arctic—even in the summer. This is of great importance for shipping in...

Greenland already locked in to major sea level rise

CLIMATE
Even without any future global warming, Greenland's melting ice sheet will cause major sea level rise with potentially "ominous" implications over this century as...

World’s biggest ice sheet could cause massive sea rise without action

OCEANOGRAPHY
The world's biggest ice sheet could cause "several meters" of sea-level rise over centuries if the global temperature rises more than 2°C, according to...
