Shrinking glaciers exposed 2,500 kilometres of coastline and 35 ‘new’ islands in the Arctic between 2000 and 2020, new research has found. Scientists examined satellite images of more than ...
Arctic glacier retreat has exposed over 1,600 kilometers of new coastline in Greenland, but experts warn this isn't a positive development.
Scientists found that rapidly retreating Arctic glaciers are triggering the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that causes global temperatures to rise, into the atmosphere.
Groundwater springs have appeared close to Svalbard's retreating glaciers. Scientists are worried they may be adding huge amounts of methane to the atmosphere.
Spiking temperatures in the Arctic are rapidly melting glaciers. Scientists are now worried about underground methane, a potent greenhouse gas, leaking up to the surface.
Warming temperatures around the world have led to concerning trends in some of the most sensitive parts of the globe, from melting permafrost to shrinking glaciers. A new study conducted on a ...
Previously, scientists studying shrinking Arctic glaciers have focused on methane release from thawing permafrost or frozen ground. New findings on Thursday suggest other sources of methane emissions ...
Scientists found evidence of a "feedback cycle" where the melting of Arctic glaciers leads to even faster melting as a result of ancient gases being released.
In a new study, researchers identified large stocks of methane gas leaking from the groundwater springs uncovered by melting glaciers in the Arctic.
The Arctic region is warming at a rate that is far above the global average. Consequently, snow, glaciers, and permafrost are melting—all of which are contributing to coastal run-off plumes.
