Researchers in Greenland used a 10-kilometer fiber-optic cable to track how iceberg calving stirs up warm seawater. The ...

Scientists are increasingly concerned that the planet is headed for massive, irreversible changes due to global warming. In ...

Scientists have uncovered how massive underwater waves triggered by iceberg calving secretly fuel glacier melt in Greenland. Iceberg calving takes place when large sections of ice detach from the ...

The climate crisis gripping the world, though devastating, might be providing certain positive byproducts in its wake. One of the largest ice sheets in Greenland was melting at an alarming rate, but ...

One of the buzziest technologies in modern science may be running right under your feet. Fiber optic cables bring you the internet as data-rich pulses of light, but they also detect signals from the ...

Dominik Gräff, a University of Washington postdoctoral researcher in Earth and space sciences (pictured in the center), and two crew members load the fiber optic cable, spooled around a large drum, ...

HELHEIM GLACIER, Greenland -- Suddenly and without warning, the gigantic river of ice sped up, causing it to spit icebergs ever faster into the ocean off southeastern Greenland. Helheim Glacier nearly ...
