Guest authors explore how Greenland’s ice sheets fared over the 12 months, including the evidence that the territory’s summer melting season is lengthening.

For most of us, first-hand knowledge of Greenland is probably limited to flying over it en route to North America. It’s likely that you’ve heard more about it over the last few months than in the rest ...

Snow accumulation during winter no longer compensates for summer losses. This annual balance has been negative for decades, ...

D heat maps show how deep temperature patterns under Greenland help explain uneven ice loss and land motion, improving future ...

When talking about climate change, sea level rise is often brought up as one of the devastating consequences. Melting glaciers and emaciated polar bears have become infamous images over the decades, ...

Most people probably think of glaciers as massive blocks of white ice. But many glaciers have dark patches because of the growth of algae, which can survive on the surface of the ice. These dark ...

Ice, ironically, defines Greenland. Up to almost two miles thick in places, the ice that envelops the austerely beautiful island determines its ecology, its economy and its culture. What scientists ...
