Mud from the Greenlandic seabed reveals a hidden past Sea ice and bedrock shape key for glacier stability.
Predicting the next big flood in Greenland 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 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 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.
Calling all armchair scientists: ESA releases Greenland satellite data The European Space Agency launches website with access to satellite data, images, and animations of the Greenland ice sheet.
Deceleration of the Greenland ice sheet caused by 11,000-year-old events Events that happened 11,000 years ago are still affecting the behaviour of the Greenland ice sheet today, causing it to decelerate.
Sea levels could be rising faster than we think 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 Archaeologists develop new method, which might finally tell us why the Vikings migrated to Greenland.
Heavy summer rain in Greenland speeds up ice melt 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.
International conference brings climate change to Greenland Climate scientists come together with citizens, industry representatives, and politicians in Greenland to discuss climate change in the Arctic.
3D technology allows scientists to model Greenland's past VIDEO: See how the scientists used 3D technology to discover new details about Greenland’s past.
Climate change is destroying Greenland’s earliest history Rising temperatures and heat producing bacteria threaten the remains of three major Greenlandic cultures preserved in the permafrost.
Greenland Vikings outlived climate change for centuries Climate change didn't kill off the thick-skinned Norsemen.
Chemical pollution is causing brain damage in polar bears Toxic chemicals end up in the Arctic where they cause brain damage in polar bears. They could even affect humans, scientists warn.
Flying rubber dinghy opens up remote parts of Greenland to scientists A flying rubber dinghy gives scientists an inexpensive and flexible way of reaching Greenland's most remote areas.
Arctic sea ice helps remove CO2 from the atmosphere A new study shows that calcium carbonate in the ice absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere.
Greenland's Iron Age came from space The basalt on Northern Greenland is visible evidence of the Inuits' use of iron before they had access to modern tools.
The Greenland shark: an overlooked creature The Greenland shark is a mythicised and unpopular animal, perhaps due to a lack of knowledge. Now a research team has spent several weeks with some of Disko Bay’s Greenland sharks, where they performed risky experiments to find out more about the shark.
Drones discover serious threats to Greenland's ice cap Danish drones have collected breathtaking video footage of Greenland but the shots documents a deeply concerning development on the ice cap.
American forest fires are melting the ice on Greenland Forest fires are covering the ice sheets with black particles that make the ice melt faster.
Gigantic DNA-study reveals the rise and downfall of prehistoric Eskimos In the largest study of ancient DNA from the Arctic, Danish scientists have mapped the story of the prehistoric people who lived in one of the harshest areas of the world.
Rising temperatures could destroy Greenland's archaeological treasures Climate changes on Greenland are currently threatening areas of archaeological importance that have not yet been excavated. Therefore, The National Museums of Denmark and Greenland have started several projects where decomposing wooden artifacts and bones will help identify the areas, which are most seriously threatened — and save them.
Diabetes gene found on Greenland Scientists find genetic variant among Greenlanders that greatly increases the risk of developing diabetes.
HIV epidemic in Greenland mapped in great detail HIV has been introduced in Greenland at least 25 times, according to new study, which reveals how an HIV epidemic breaks out and spreads in a society. The findings may help prevent future epidemics.
Weird diagnoses kept Greenlanders in check Arctic hysteria and kayak dizziness were once used as diagnoses to bolster the image of Greenlanders as an ‘inferior’ indigenous people.
The Greenland ice sheet will survive global warming The inland ice will not disappear even though Earth’s climate is getting warmer. But the higher temperatures will lead to substantial melting of Antarctica, new study finds.
Greenland’s cultural heritage threatened by climate change Archaeologists estimate that Greenland has more than 6,000 sites with cultural monuments. Due to climate change, a significant part of these treasures may be under threat.
DNA drilled up from the bottom of Greenland’s ice sheet DNA residues drilled up from Greenland’s ice sheet base reveal a green, lush landscape before the great island became covered by ice. New methods in DNA research make it possible to show a Greenland that’s different to the one we know today.
Greenlanders strove for change If Greenlandic culture has been ruined, Denmark is not to blame. Greenlanders wanted to have their opportunities expanded beyond their old sealing and whaling-based culture, argues Greenlandic historian.
Dramatic changes in Arctic food chain The collapse of Greenland’s lemming population cycle has disastrous consequences for a number of predators.
Did a recently found bird spear belong to a kidnapped Greenlander? A recent archaeological find in Copenhagen – a bird spear from the Thule culture – has put focus on expeditions to rediscover Greenland 400 years ago and the expeditions’ kidnapping of Greenlanders.
Remains of gigantic meteorite crater found in Greenland A Danish geologist has discovered remains of what appears to be the world’s largest and oldest meteor impact crater in Greenland.
The North is barbaric and sublime Many associate the North with wealth and progress. But ancient stereotypes of barbaric Vikings and primitive ignorance are still alive and kicking, says Icelandic historian.
