Greenland's ice belly is growing

By using eleven years of data collected by satellites from the European Space Agency ESA, European researchers have found that the ice sheet covering the interior of Greenland has gotten thicker at a rate of more than 6 centimeters per year. Another analysis published three months ago shows similar results...

Polar robots to explore the Arctic

It's now almost certain that the world's ice shelves are melting. And while satellites provide lots of data about their evolution, ground-based weather stations could be even more useful. But if scientists can no longer stay on fragile and volatile ice sheets, what can they do? They can use specially...

Scientists in Europe: be afraid, but there may be hope from friendly phytoplankton

The European Geophysical Union is meeting. Not that you could tell from any American mainstream media coverage. Bet we couldn't find a single news reader at ABC or Fox who could even decipher EGU European Geophysical Union. But the EGU does exist in that rarified world beyond...

Greenland becoming a green land

This picture is from NASA/JPL. What do you see here? You see stresams of water on the surface of a melting Greenland ice sheet. The streams converge on a moulin which is a shaft or tubular path down which the water pours until it...

What's hidden under Greenland ice?

Ice has covered Greenland for millions of years. So whats hidden under this ice cap? Mountains and valleys? Rivers and lakes? Of course, we might know it sooner than we would have liked if the ice covering Greenland continues to melt. But researchers from Ohio State University have decided that...

Greenland's ice belly is growing

Greenland's ice belly is growingWhat about displacement?"The influx of freshwater into the North Atlantic from any increase in melting from the Greenland Ice Sheet"One thing I never understood is why melting matters. The ice is displacing water anyway, so why should it cause ocean levels to rise when icebergs...
