NISAR Satellite by NASA and ISRO to Monitor Earth Like Never Before
NASA and ISRO's NISAR satellite will soon launch to monitor Earth's changing surface with dual-band radar. The mission will capture precise data on land deformation, ice-sheet movements, and vegetation. This first-of-its-kind collaboration combines NASA’s L-band radar expertise with ISRO’s S-band radar capabilities, ensuring comprehensive insig...

Greenland Ice Sheet Shrunk By 5,091 Sq Km In 4 Decades: Study
The Greenland Ice Sheet lost 5,091 sq km (1930 sq miles) of area between 1985 and 2022, according to a study in the journal Nature published on Wednesday, the first full ice-sheet wide estimate of area loss on that scale.

Greenland Ice Sheet Sheds Half-A-Trillion Tonnes: Study
Greenland's massive ice sheet saw a record net loss of 532 billion tonnes last year, raising red flags about accelerating sea level rise, according to findings released Thursday.

Greenland's Melting Ice-Sheet Bed Releases Tonnes Of Methane, Says Study
Researchers have found that the Greenland ice sheet emits tonnes of methane, showing that sub-glacial biological activity impacts the atmosphere far more than it was thought previously.
