The increased crevassing, especially prominent in fast-flowing portions of the ice sheet, could lead to a feedback loop that accelerates ice loss from the glacier, which ultimately raises sea levels.

A study by Durham University reveals that the Greenland ice sheet is cracking faster due to climate change. Researchers observed significant increases in the size and depth of crevasses ...

Finally, where the ice meets the ocean and no scientist would ever dare to stand, they can be monsters over 100 meters from wall to wall. And across Greenland, they are growing. It shouldn't be ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new large-scale study of crevasses on the world’s second largest body of ice.

The study found that crevasses are expanding more quickly than previously detected, and somewhere between 50 and 90 percent of the water flowing through the Greenland Ice Sheet goes through ...

A new large-scale study of crevasses on the Greenland Ice Sheet shows that those cracks are widening faster as the climate warms, which is likely to speed ice loss and global sea level rise.

Greenland's ice sheet is "more rapidly" cracking open as a result of climate change, according to a new study published on Monday. A new report by UK's Durham University, led by Tom Chudley ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is a vast reserve of frozen water, with the potential to raise sea levels by a whopping seven metres (23 feet). Now, scientists have warned that the ice sheet - the world's ...

Trump shows renewed interest in Greenland's strategic importance Majority of Greenlanders favor independence Economic concerns persist NUUK, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Greenland will hold a general ...

Most of the island is covered by the slow-flowing Greenland Ice Sheet that drains towards the coastline through a number of outlet glaciers. Only around 20% of the island is ice-free, consisting ...
