NASA’s OMG project has started with its last survey of melting glaciers from Greenland. For the last six years, the mission has been measuring how fast the rise of sea level is.
A higher than normal heatwave has struck Greenland, subjecting its ice sheet to a massive melting event, with an ice melt supposedly enough to cover the entire state of Florida with water.
A geologist revealed that if polar ice caps keep melting, days on Earth could be longer than 24 hours and that's because Earth will eventually spin slower, leading to increased sea levels at its axis.
Research shows that an increase in bacteria growth hastens the melting of Greenland Ice Sheets that could cause a 20-foot increase in global sea-levels.
Two space architects have completed their two-month stay in Greenlandaboard the Lunark, the origami-inspired foldable shelter used in the next generation Moon explorations.
A group of researchers has discovered a deep-sea soft coral garden habitat using an innovative and low-cost underwater camera in Greenland's underwater deep. The scientists are hopeful that their findings will increase the understanding of ecological relationships and lead to more efforts in the management of fisheries.
Currently, more advanced satellites, sophisticated climate models, and weather stations have aided in collecting a more precise data on the measurement of the melting glaciers.
NASA Captured a huge crack in Petermann Glacier, Greenland during the airborne mission named, Operation IceBridge. The gigantic crack was first captured by Delft University of Technology scientist Stef Lhermitte while examining the photographs with satellite images.
While the environmentalists believe Thorny Skate's amarming decline calls for their protection under the Endangered Species Act, Federal government declines to list the Thorny Skate as endangered.
