Greenland

Dabuch/Shutterstock An article published in Nature Geoscience on July 30th, 2025 explores an event that happened in 2014 but was only recently discovered thanks to archives of satellite images. The Greenland Ice Sheet covers a number of subglacial lakes. One of those lakes flooded, and in 2014, it broke through…

As Greenland's ice retreats, it's fueling tiny ocean organisms. To test why, scientists turned to a computer model out of JPL and MIT that's been called a laboratory in itself. Runoff from Greenland's ice sheet is kicking nutrients up from the ocean depths and boosting phytoplankton growth, a new NASA-supported…

Article content Apart from Canada, Mexico and New Zealand, participants at this year’s Games also came from the U.S. and Greenland. Events held throughout the city included golf (Loch March), volleyball (TD Place Arena), track and field (Terry Fox Sports Facility), basketball (Carleton University), Arctic sports (Algonquin College) and 3D…

NUUK, Greenland — A dark SUV pulled into a shopping center illuminated by the midnight sun. Tour operators René and Ulrikke Andersen jumped out of the vehicle and approached a pair of tourists with an offer. Two people had signed up for that evening’s whale-watching cruise, but the guides needed…

Trump’s rhetoric has been counterproductive, but Denmark and Greenland are willing to cooperate to address shared concerns. The post Make a Deal to Advance American Interests in Greenland appeared first on The American Conservative...Read More

The Verde River is one of the last free-flowing rivers in Arizona, winding through what’s known as the Verde Valley before feeding into the Salt River. Agriculturally, the valley is relatively fertile, supporting crops like sweet corn, alfalfa, peaches, and pecans, as well as a small wine industry. Recently, though,…

Ancient predators once thought to be squids are now linked to arrow worms. The discovery highlights unexpectedly advanced features in these early animals. Fossils recently unearthed in North Greenland have provided key evidence to help scientists resolve a 500-million-year-old mystery involving ancient squid-like creatures. These organisms...Read More

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, Issue 31, August 2025. SignificanceThe Eoarchean (>3.65 Ga) quartz-pyroxene rock from Akilia, Greenland, represents a key fragment of Earth’s earliest rock record. By integrating novel potassium isotope data with petrological observations, our study identifies a chemical ...Read More

The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission captured this image of Harder Glacier in northern Greenland, where a powerful subglacial flood surged with such force it fractured the ice sheet and meltwater burst through to the surface. (Image credit: Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data (2024), processed by ESA) A hidden lake beneath the…
