For the first time, scientists have captured detailed measurements of water vapor high above Greenland’s vast ice sheet.

The findings were published March 14 in JGR Atmospheres. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Greenland lost about 55 gigatons of ice and snow between fall 2023 and ...

A new study measured water vapor in Greenland's air, collecting data crucial for improving climate models and forecasting Arctic changes.

Even given the rapid loss of Greenland’s 650,000-square-mile ice sheet, though, it would take a long while to lose it all — it’s 1.4 miles thick on average. The Earth itself is also frozen ...

Politicians in Greenland and Denmark have firmly rejected the idea, but the U.S. administration appears undeterred, so how could a U.S. takeover play out?

The head of the dogsledding association asked her to wave a flag to open the annual dogsled race across ice and snow ... leaders had "ignored Greenland for far too long" and that "we think ...

I am a geoscientist who studies the environmental history of Greenland and its ice sheet, including natural hazards and climate change. That knowledge is essential for understanding the risks that ...

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Greenland lost about 55 gigatons of ice and snow between fall 2023 and fall 2024. The island is shedding ice for the 28th ...
