Greenland’s Melting Glaciers Expose 1,620 km of New Coastline Since 2000
- Tuesday April 1, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
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
- Tuesday March 25, 2025
- World News | The Conversation
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.

Antarctic Ice Melt Weakens Strongest Ocean Current, Disrupting Global Circulation
- Friday March 21, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the planet’s most powerful ocean circulation system, could slow by 20 percent by 2050 due to melting Antarctic ice. Researchers suggest that the influx of fresh, cold water is disrupting convection, altering global ocean density. A weaker current may allow warm water to reach Antarctica, accelerating ice loss an...

Greenland's Ice Sheet Approaches Dangerous Tipping Point Amid Rapid Melting
- Thursday February 27, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Greenland’s massive ice sheet is losing ice at an accelerating rate, with scientists warning that a global temperature rise of just 2°C could trigger irreversible collapse. The loss of 230 gigatons of ice per year is the estimated threshold for this tipping point. If melting continues at current rates, sea levels could rise by approximately 7 me...

Study Warns Melting Arctic Ice Could Disrupt Ocean Currents in Europe
- Monday October 28, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Scientists from UiT The Arctic University of Norway have issued a stark warning regarding the impact of melting Arctic sea ice on global ocean circulation patterns. Their recent study highlights that significant inflows of freshwater from melting sea ice into the Nordic Seas have historically led to dramatic cooling in northern Europe. By analysing...

Antarctica’s Doomsday Glacier Is Headed for Collapse, Could Rise Global Sea Level Significantly: Study
- Monday September 23, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
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 ...

Greenland's Fossils Reveal an Ice-Free Tundra Less Than a Million Years Ago: Report
- Tuesday August 13, 2024
- NDTV
Recent research reveals that Greenland, now 98% covered in ice, was almost entirely ice-free at some point in the last million years. Fossils of plants like willow and Arctic poppy, found in an ice core sample from the island’s center, suggest a once-thriving tundra ecosystem. This discovery is significant because it challenges previous beliefs t...

Antarctic Study Reveals "Tipping Point" For Runaway Melting Of Ice Sheets
- Tuesday June 25, 2024
- World News | Agence France-Presse
Scientists have discovered a new tipping point toward "runaway melting" of Antarctic ice sheets, caused by warm ocean water intruding between the ice and the land it sits on, according to a study published on Tuesday.
