Modeling suggests slow thermal convection beneath Greenland's ice sheet may form plume-like distortions seen in radar data.

Predicting the expected loss of ice sheet mass is difficult due to the complexity of modeling ice sheet behavior. To better understand this loss, a team of researchers has been improving the ...

New Year's Day, 2002. Without warning, a few large cracks in the Larsen B ice shelf appeared in satellite imagery. Within days, car-sized chunks of ice appeared in the water. Then shards of ice larger ...

LIVERMORE, Calif.--The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets will make a dominant contribution to 21st century sea-level rise if current climate trends continue. However, predicting the expected loss of ...
