A report warns that coral reefs may have reached their tipping point, and ice sheets, ocean currents and the Amazon are at ...

This is the first of many fragile Earth systems set to topple as human activities continue to stoke our planet's fever, the ...

Prehistoric changes and accelerating climate change are ‘shrinking’ Greenland and causing it to drift, new research warns.

“It was so unexpected, we thought there was an issue with our data,” said Jade Bowling, senior author of the study which has turned scientific knowledge of Greenland’s ice sheet hydrology on its head.

As Greenland’s glaciers melt, water usually drains to the bedrock below before flowing out to the ocean. But in 2014, a huge torrent of meltwater from a subglacial lake burst out of the surface of the ...

Greenland is melting, the Alps are melting and the Himalayas are melting—yet in one vast mountain region, huge glaciers have ...

Spending the night on the Greenland Ice Sheet, where the sun never sets and the ice never stops moving, is an adventure ...
