The first study from GreenDrill—a project co-led by the University at Buffalo to collect rocks and sediment buried beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet—has found that the Prudhoe Dome ice cap was completely gone approximately 7,

The story of Greenland's name weaves together sly marketing, climate change and the Vikings. While Erik the Red selected the name in hopes that it would attract more people to the icy island, now the island is actually getting (a little) more green as its ice sheet melts.

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 of your life combined, but geopolitical debates ...

Analysis of core samples extracted from beneath an ice sheet indicates that the region is extremely responsive to the temperatures characteristic of today’s interglacial period. Researchers involved in GreenDrill,

The world's largest island has its own system of fjords, lakes and black-sand beaches. What to know about the size of the Danish territory.

The study shows that the Prudhoe Dome ice cap, located in northwest Greenland, completely melted around 7,000 years ago. This date falls within the Holocene, a warm period that began about 11,000 years ago and continues today.

GREENLAND, AS YOU MAY KNOW, IS NEITHER NOT GREEN AND NOT REALLY LAND, BUT RATHER COVERED BY THE SECOND LARGEST BODY OF ICE IN THE WORLD, SECOND ONLY TO THE ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET. BUT THE ICE IS MELTING. FAST. THE GREENLAND ICE CAP IS NOW THE THE LARGEST ...

Scientists drilled to the bottom of Greenland's 1,600-foot deep Prudhoe Dome and found it disappeared in the early Holocene, when temperatures were close to what we're predicted to reach by the end of the century.

Learn more about the history of Greenland's Prudhoe Dome and how rising global temperatures could impact it in the future.

At the top of the world on the coast of Greenland, breaking seas from the Arctic Ocean run thousands miles from Norway to Siberia and onto the Gulf of Alaska. Greenland is going through a major transformation. We returned to Greenland after a five-year ...
