Susanna Clarke is the author of two literary legends. The first is fictional. In Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, her 2004 debut novel, Clarke created an alternative England where magicians conjure warships out of the rain and walk through mirrors. The eponymous Strange and Norrell are gentleman scholars (and rivals)…

The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has been losing mass for several decades due to increased surface meltwater runoff and ablation of marine-terminating outlet glaciers via calving and submarine melting ice discharge. The Greenland Ice Sheet is losing mass at accelerated rates, making it the largest single contributor to rising sea…

The Greenland Ice Sheet is one of the largest potential contributors to global mean sea level rise if global warming continues to increase: Getty ImagesHigh temperatures saw Greenland lose enough ice to cover the US state of California in more than four feet of water in 2019 alone, a study…

During the Last Glacial Period some 11,500 years ago, Greenland went through massive changes called interstadial events. Then, it quickly oscillated between lower and higher temperatures, which melted and then refroze (and then melted again) massive ice sheets in the region. Geological records appear to show that around the same time that…

Greenland lost a record amount of ice during an extra warm 2019, with the melt massive enough to cover California in more than 1.25 metres of water, a new study said.According to a study released on Thursday, Aug. 20, 2020, Greenland lost a record amount of ice during an extra…
