Mud from the Greenlandic seabed reveals a hidden past

October 19, 2017 in Natural Sciences

Sea ice and bedrock shape key for glacier stability.

Predicting the next big flood in Greenland

October 4, 2017 in Natural Sciences

A new study shows precisely how surface melt on the Greenland ice sheet is transferred into the rivers that drain the vast inland ice. Scientists are ready to implement an early warning flood system.

Industrial pollutants are changing the microbiota of the Greenland ice

July 27, 2017 in Natural Sciences

Bacteria within the Greenland ice sheet are adapting to cope with pollutants deposited in the ice. These same bacteria may be key to removing some of this contamination before it enters the local food chain.

Climate models underestimate rapid ice melt events on Greenland

April 1, 2016 in Natural Sciences

Severe ice melt events on Greenland go almost undetected by climate models, which could mean that ice melt projections for the future are too low, warn scientists.

Deceleration of the Greenland ice sheet caused by 11,000-year-old events

February 5, 2016 in Natural Sciences

Events that happened 11,000 years ago are still affecting the behaviour of the Greenland ice sheet today, causing it to decelerate.

Calling all armchair scientists: ESA releases Greenland satellite data

February 7, 2016 in Natural Sciences

The European Space Agency launches website with access to satellite data, images, and animations of the Greenland ice sheet.

Sea levels could be rising faster than we think

January 18, 2016 in Natural Sciences

Global warming is preventing the Greenland ice sheet from soaking up as much melt water as it perhaps once did, which could cause sea levels to rise even faster.

Archaeological breakthrough could solve the mystery of Greenland’s Vikings

September 24, 2015 in Society & Culture

Archaeologists develop new method, which might finally tell us why the Vikings migrated to Greenland.

Heavy summer rain in Greenland speeds up ice melt

July 13, 2015 in Natural Sciences

Rapid ice melt in Greenland is driven by intense late summer rainfall, making the vast ice sheet even more vulnerable as the earth warms, new research shows.

Declining winter sea ice near Greenland spells cooler climate for Europe

July 5, 2015 in Natural Sciences

OPINION: Loss of winter sea ice around Greenland and Iceland is affecting ocean circulation there, and could lead to a cooler climate for western Europe.

Archaeologists celebrate spectacular discovery of Iron Age treasure

September 21, 2018 in Society & Culture

Evidence suggests that a recently uncovered treasure trove of Iron Age gold in Denmark, was a rich man’s gift to the Gods. And there turned out to be much more where that came from.
