The Government of Greenland has recently awarded permits to Orano for it to conduct exploration works on uranium deposits in two zones, located in the south-east and the south-west of the country. Within the framework of a territorial development program, the Greenland authorities have decided to give the go-ahead for the emergence of new projects for the exploration and mining of the country's mineral resources. The first exploration works to be conducted by Orano will commence as of...

Greenland, staring Gerard Butler, is a spectacular disaster film about a comet heading for Earth with sci-fi, domestic drama and bleak realism

Scientists find that cyanobacteria cause sediments on glaciers to clump, thus absorbing more sunlight. It's not great news for fans of lower sea levels.

Global warming due to carbon emissions is a key factor

Not only did 2020 tie with 2016 for the hottest year on record, it also capped the warmest decade on record

Black smudge in Jørgen Brønlund's diary showed he desperately tried to light a fire.

Two new disaster movies, Greenland and Songbird, came out this month. Whether they succeed or not may change the genre's fate.

These disasters affected you if you inhaled the smoke, shivered in the polar vortex, took shelter from a storm, or sweat through a heat wave.

The jagged terrain of Greenland's mountains is protecting some of the island's outlet glaciers from warm coastal waters, according to a team of researchers that included scientists from The University of Texas at Austin and NASA.

Platypuses glow in the dark. Octopuses taste by touching objects with their tentacles. Here's a sampling of the coolest animal discoveries from 2020.

A new study, headed by researchers from the Universities of Liège and Oslo, applyies the latest climate models, of which the MAR predicts a 60% greater melting of the Greenland ice sheet than previously predicted. This is important data that will be included in the next IPCC report. The study is published in Nature Communications.

A team of researchers understands more about the melting of the Greenland ice sheet. They discovered a flow of hot rocks, known as a mantle plume, rising from the core-mantle boundary beneath central Greenland that melts the ice from below.

According to the researchers, the ice sheet is seven times the area of the UK, and stores a large amount of the Earth's frozen water.

In a study published this week in The Cryosphere, researchers from the National Centre for Atmospheric Science and University of Reading demonstrate how climate change could lead to irreversible sea level rise as temperatures continue to rise and the Greenland ice sheet continues to decline.

Researchers examining subglacial waters both from Antarctica and Greenland found that these waters have higher concentrations of important, life-sustaining elements than previously thought, answering a big unknown for scientists seeking to understand the Earth's geochemical processes.

The Hardanger region in southwestern Norway is famous for a mild climate, steep rock walls and delicious apples. Towards the end of the last Ice Age, things were different. Climate was frigid, too cold for humans to settle, let alone apple trees. The Hardangerfjord Glacier reached from the Hardangervidda plateau in the east, towards the island Halsnøy towards the west. These gravelly islands were themselves created a few centuries earlier, by the bulldozing force of the glacier. This Norwegian ice-age landscape reminds us of the coasts of Greenland, with impressive fjords hosting glaciers and icebergs.

The ice melt has already contributed more than eight millimetres to global sea levels
