Greenland’s rapidly melting ice and landslide-prone fjords make oil and minerals dangerous to extract
Human-induced global warming, driven by fossil fuel combustion, speeds the melting of Greenland’s ice.
Thwaites Glacier won’t collapse like dominoes as feared, study finds
But the findings don’t mean the 'Doomsday Glacier,' which has the potential to flood coastlines if it collapsed, is stable.
If melting glaciers shut down the Gulf Stream, we would see extreme climate change within decades, study shows
The Atlantic Ocean’s circulation could hit a tipping point as the planet warms and glaciers and ice sheets melt.
Video: What causes sea-level rise?
This bite-sized video explains what causes sea-level rise and the increases expected along US coastlines over the next 30 years.
New research suggests Earth’s remaining ice sheets may be destabilizing from the inside
Ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica may be far more vulnerable to climate warming than models predict.
