The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change, a study has found. Watch this report for more details!

Greenland ice sheet cracking quicker than ever, study finds

Greenland ice sheet cracking faster than ever, study finds

A group of international researchers believe the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) which is projected to lose mass due to climate change and global ocean warming and is likely to contribute to the rise in sea levels impacting coastal communities across the world is preventable.

Researchers believe the collapse of West Antarctic ice sheet is preventable: Report

Swiss glaciers have lost more than six per cent of their total volume this year, recording its worst melting rate since record keeping began over a century ago, the Swiss Academy of Sciences said in their report on Wednesday.

Swiss glaciers' melting rate peaks to worst in century, lose over 6% volume in 2022 

A new study has revealed that Greenland's ice sheet is melting rapidly from its base, and as a result, the melting water is contributing to sea level rise around the globe.

Greenland’s ice sheet melting faster than previously thought, raising global sea level, says study

Climate change, in tandem with pollution caused by humans, has increased the pace of melting of ice sheets in Greenland. But a new study points to much grim consequences of this consistent melting.

Rare melting event reduced Greenland's ice sheet storage capacity, study reveals

Scientists recently found plants beneath ice in Greenland, essentially rewriting what we know about previous warming periods in Earth's history. The discovery of plants beneath ice reveals that the region underwent melting at a scale similar to what's happening right now.

Scientists discover plants buried deep beneath Greenland's ice sheet. What does this mean?

Researchers with the National Snow and Ice Data Center said the minimum was most likely reached on Sept. 15, with 1.44 million square miles of ocean covered in ice.

Arctic sea ice melts to second lowest level on record

Describing the ice loss as "staggering," the group found that melting glaciers and ice sheets could cause sea levels to rise dramatically

Earth has lost 28 Trillion tonnes of ice since 1994 due to global warming

As per reports, the collapse of the glacier could begin in the next few centuries or decades. The scientists would study the Thwaites Glacier, which is roughly the size of Florida or Britain
