Greenland

Umiamako Glacier enters the ocean in the west of Greenland. E.RIGNOT / NASA Greenland experienced an unusually warm summer in 2019, which caused the world's largest island to lose 600 billion tons of ice and raised sea levels by 0.2 of an inch, according to a NASA study released yesterday.…

Recently, the Ice Sheet Mass Balance Intercomparison Exercise (IMBIE) team revealed that regions in Greenland and Antarctica are loosing ice mass six times faster than than they were in the 1990s. The unprecedented rate of melting has been described to affect 400 million people by 2100. The IMBIE team used…

NASA is currently operating 11 satellite missions that are monitoring the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. NASA says that those missions show that the ice sheets are melting six times faster than they were in the 1990s. The space agency also notes that if the melting trend continues, the regions…

Originating as a giant fish known as ‘hafgufa’ in Norse mythology, the Kraken eventually came to be known as a giant octopus or squid that terrorized…

They could supply energy to far-flung bases, power laser weapons and charge electric vehiclesWAR ZONES are dangerous places. Where better, then, for a nuclear reactor? On March 9th America’s government awarded a trio of firms $39.7m to design “microreactors” that can supply a few megawatts of power to remote military…

Antarctica and Greenland are losing ice six times faster than in the 1990s, a pair of studies in the journal Nature show.According to the international team of climatologists behind the research, the unprecedented rate of melt has already contributed 0.7 inches (1.78 centimeters) to global sea level rise in the…

New York / Geneva, 10 March 2020 - The tell-tale physical signs of climate change such as increasing land and ocean heat, accelerating sea level rise and melting ice are highlighted in a new report compiled by the World Meteorological Organization and an extensive network of partners. It documents impacts…
