- Too young and too thin?
- We're not talking about pop singers or scrawny fashion models. We're talking Mother Earth. Specifically the Arctic ice sheets. The latest data from NASA shows the Arctic ice sheets and thinner and younger than at any time since humans started measuring them. In dealing...

- 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?
- What's hidden under Greenland ice?Thanks for the political BUNK...So, "Ice has covered Greenland for millions of years...the ice covering Greenland continues to melt." How then, Roland, do you explain the DAIRY FARM that the Vikings established on Greenland in 986? (See http://www.archaeology.org/online/features/greenland/) Do you think they were...

- 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...

- Fancy a little water over lower Manhattan?
- At one extreme there's the possibility that warmer oceans will melt the entire ice sheet along Antarctica's western edge. Scientists say that would raise the global sea levels by five meters, that's about sixteen feet. That's above the front door on many Manhattan office buildings. Not to...

- Good news: Washington D.C. may be doomed to inundation
- New projections of the effects of melting Anarctic ice caps: sea waves above Washington D.C. The researchers project sea level variation will not be uniform around the globe. It will be much higher in North America and the Indian Ocean. And, they say, if the entire West...

- Contrary to past indicators, the whole Antarctic is warming
- A new sythesis of data since the 1957 International Geophysical Year shows that the Antarctic is in the grips of continental warming. Some earlier data indicated that the interior of the Antarctic was getting cooler. New analysis shows this to be false. The whole ice sheet atop...

- Walking on Thin Ice - VersaLogic's Cobra EBX Platform Used by GeoAcoustics to Survey Polar Ice Cap
- Among the challenges that scientists face is how to accurately measure ice thickness, to truly reflect the volume of the ice contained in areas with complex cracking and ridging. New technology now makes this possible. The Gavia autonomous underwater vehicle AUV from Hafmynd, Iceland, has returned from its latest trip...

At the start, a software development project is like a smooth sheet of ice: full of possibility. It's a clean slate, free from architectural flaws, bugs, and broken code. But once the first line...

- 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...
