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
An enormous iceberg larger than Rhode Island has broken off of Antarctica’s Ronne Ice Shelf, and is now adrift in the Weddell Sea. First spotted by an ESA’s satellite, the state-sized chunk of ice measures in at 170 kilometers (105 miles) long by 25 kilometers (15 miles) wide, making itread more
A new study has found that ice loss from glaciers in Alaska has been causing an increase in both the frequency and magnitude of earthquakes over 5.0 in the region. While sea level rise, extreme weather and surface ice loss are the more apparent consequences of global warming, it’s easyread more
Large amounts of methane have been observed escaping from the seabed off of the northeastern coast of Siberia, emanating from previously-frozen pockets of the powerful greenhouse gas, a “sleeping giant” that threatens to trigger a global warming feedback loop that exacerbates the climate-warming effects of human-produced carbon dioxide emissions.
