took a deeper look at the central part of Greenland's ice sheet, where the impact of climate change has long been unclear. To learn more about that impact, researchers from the Alfred Wegener ...

They looked at temperatures over the ice sheet in central-north Greenland between 2001 and 2011 and found the decade was the warmest in the past 1,000 years, said Maria Hörhold, a study author a ...

they reconstructed past temperatures in central-north Greenland and melting rates of the ice sheet. At high elevations of the Greenland Ice Sheet, the years 2001 to 2011 were 1.5 °C warmer than ...

Global warming is spiking in one of the world’s coldest places, atop the 2-mile thick ice sheet in central Greenland, where new research shows that the first decade of the 2000s was clearly the ...

Researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany analyzed Greenland’s massive ice sheet by drilling up to 100 feet into its core to reconstruct the temperature of north and central ...

(NewsNation) — New research proves the thickest part of the Greenland Ice Sheet is far less impenetrable ... “that tundra vegetation once covered central Greenland, mandating that the island ...

The Greenland ice sheet was warmer in the first decade of ... Researchers have also calculated that between 2001 and 2011, central-north Greenland was on average 1.5C warmer than in the 20th ...

Earth’s climate is warming due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels. During this century, climate change could cause a disruptive rise in sea levels worldwide due to melting polar ice.

The study focuses on two masses of ice currently sitting on land: The Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. As temperatures rise, that ice is melting, flowing into the ocean and making sea levels rise.
