Warming temperatures appear to be driving genetic mutations in some polar bears to help them survive the shifting climatic ...

Guest authors explore how Greenland’s ice sheets fared over the 12 months, including the evidence that the territory’s summer melting season is lengthening.

Greenland has large deposits of rare earth minerals along its coasts, but these are also geologically hazardous regions. Alex Hibbert/The Image Bank via Getty Images That’s imprudent, because the ...

Understanding what happens beneath Greenland helps explain how its vast ice sheet moves, melts, and reshapes the planet. A ...

For most of us, first-hand knowledge of Greenland is probably limited to flying over it en route to North America. It’s likely that you’ve heard more about it over the last few months than in the rest ...

Polar bears in Southern Greenland show rapid genetic changes linked to jumping genes. Researchers suggest these may help them ...

D heat maps show how deep temperature patterns under Greenland help explain uneven ice loss and land motion, improving future ...

Most people probably think of glaciers as massive blocks of white ice. But many glaciers have dark patches because of the growth of algae, which can survive on the surface of the ice. These dark ...

A landslide in Greenland caused a giant wave and a mysterious 92-second seismic hum that traveled around the planet for nine days.

The Arctic landscape is changing at an unprecedented rate. In addition to rising temperatures, climate change is causing ...

A pair of NASA satellite images taken just four days apart tells a potentially worrying story of melting ice in the polar summer. The first, snapped from orbit on July 8, shows about 40 percent of the ...
