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…

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
