The findings of a new study on the large impact crater that was found under Greenland’s Hiawatha Glacier in 2018 suggest that the impact that formed the 31-kilometer (19.3-mile) crater occurred quite recently (geologically speaking, that is), at a time when the region was covered in a mile-thick sheet of ice, makingread more
Researchers have discovered that as global warming causes the North Atlantic’s Gulf Stream to migrate further north, it blocks the flow of water flowing from the Arctic via the Labrador Current, a situation resulting in detrimental changes in the environment in the waters off of the North American Shelf. Typically,read more
A new study has discovered that climate change is altering the way the Earth wobbles as it spins about its axis, causing the planet’s natural short-term polar drift to increase in speed by 1,600 percent over what it was in the 1980s—and even to cause the drift’s motion to changeread more
