When the planet was heating up at the end of the last Ice Age, ice-melt flooded out by glaciers made oceans rise. Scientists for decades believed that most meltwater had originated from Antarctica.
How much sea level rise will coastal communities have to contend with by the end of the century, and beyond? Melt from the Earth’s ice sheets is already contributing to flooding throughout the U.S., ...
Earth's mantle is so gooey, it takes eons for material that has been displaced by the weight of ice sheets to flow back. And Greenland is very much still processing its glacial past, a new study shows ...
Every day, massive chunks of ancient ice the size of skyscrapers crash into the Arctic Ocean from Greenland's coastline. The sounds echo across vast fjords while scientists track the transformation of ...
A picture of what West Antarctica looked like when its ice sheet melted in the past can offer insight into the continent’s ...
Melting ice sheets in North America played a far greater role in driving global sea-level rise at the end of the last ice age than scientists had thought, according to a Tulane University-led study ...
