Scientists drilled to the bottom of Greenland's 1,600-foot deep Prudhoe Dome and found it disappeared in the early Holocene, ...

The Prudhoe ice dome disappeared during a warm period 7000 years ago. Global warming could cause similar temperatures by 2100 ...

In northwestern Greenland, researchers working on the GreenDrill project have cored through a 500-meter-thick ice dome. They ...

Analysis of core samples extracted from beneath an ice sheet indicates that the region is extremely responsive to the temperatures characteristic of today’s interglacial period. Researchers involved ...

The study shows that the Prudhoe Dome ice cap, located in northwest Greenland, completely melted around 7,000 years ago. This ...

When talking about climate change, sea level rise is often brought up as one of the devastating consequences. Melting glaciers and emaciated polar bears have become infamous images over the decades, ...

Scientists studying the Greenland Ice Sheet have uncovered evidence suggesting it may melt faster than expected, increasing the threat of rapid sea-level rise for coastal cities worldwide.

Most people probably think of glaciers as massive blocks of white ice. But many glaciers have dark patches because of the growth of algae, which can survive on the surface of the ice. These dark ...
