As the vast ice sheet that crowns Greenland thins and retreats, it is quietly reshaping shorelines thousands of kilometers away. The same physics that will lower local sea levels around the island are ...

A chunk of ice twice the size of Manhattan has parted from Greenland’s Petermann glacier, a break researchers at the University of Delaware and Canadian Ice Service attributed to warmer ocean ...

A growing network of meltwater lakes at the edge of the Greenland ice sheet is accelerating the flow of major glaciers, potentially increasing the pace of global sea‑level rise. Warmer air and sea ...
