The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new large-scale study of crevasses on the world's second largest body of ice.

Formed by stresses at the surface, their direction and size tell us how the ice sheet is flowing towards the ocean. Inland, far away from the fast-flowing glaciers that discharge hundreds of ...

The study found that crevasses are expanding more quickly than previously detected, and somewhere between 50 and 90 percent of the water flowing through the Greenland Ice Sheet goes through ...

The Greenland ice sheet, the second largest body of ice in the world, is cracking more rapidly than ever before in response to climate breakdown, revealed a study published in the journal Nature ...

A study by Durham University reveals that the Greenland ice sheet is cracking faster due to climate change. Researchers observed significant increases in the size and depth of crevasses ...

In just five years, 930 million cubic meters of crevasses opened up in the Greenland ice sheet, equivalent to adding a crack the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza to the world's second largest ice ...

Greenland's ice sheet is "more rapidly" cracking open as a result of climate change, according to a new study published on Monday. A new report by the United Kingdom's Durham University, led by Tom ...

Researchers studied more than 8,000 3-D surface maps, created using high-resolution satellite imagery. They found crevasses had significantly increased in size and depth at the fast-flowing edges of ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is a vast reserve of frozen water, with the potential to raise sea levels by a whopping seven metres (23 feet). Now, scientists have warned that the ice sheet - the world's ...
