Greenland’s Melting Glaciers Expose 1,620 km of New Coastline Since 2000
Over the past 20 years, Greenland’s glaciers have melted enough to expose 1,620 kilometres of new coastline, altering the Arctic’s geography. Satellite data from 2000 to 2020 tracked these changes, showing significant ice loss. The study also identified 35 newly exposed islands, some of which remain unclaimed on existing maps. Scientists warn o...

As Glaciers Melt, Risk Of Catastrophic Flash Floods Rises For Millions
In mountain ranges around the world, glaciers are melting as global temperatures rise. Europe's Alps and Pyrenees lost 40% of their glacier volume from 2000 to 2023.

Antarctica’s Doomsday Glacier Is Headed for Collapse, Could Rise Global Sea Level Significantly: Study
Recent research on the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica shows alarming rates of melting that could significantly impact global sea levels. Scientists from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, including Rob Larter and Kiya Riverman, discovered that Thwaites’ retreat may lead to a rise of up to 10 feet in sea levels, threatening coastal ...

Covid Lockdown Prevented Melting Of 27 Tonnes Of Himalayan Ice, Snow: Study
The authors estimate that the reduced anthropogenic pollutant emissions during the Indian lockdown was responsible for 71.6 per cent of the reduction in radiative forcing on snow in April 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.
