Jul 6, 2017 · Microscopic fossils show that, from 10,400 to 7,500 years ago, upwelling of a water mass called Circumpolar Deep Water destabilized Antarctic ice shelves — a finding that advances our...

Aug 5, 2024 · In contrast, materials collected from below the GrIS record location-specific ice extent and climate, providing direct evidence for past ice sheet absence and biosphere response.

Aug 5, 2024 · Fossilised plants and insects extracted from beneath the centre of Greenland provide “smoking gun” evidence that the ice sheet has completely collapsed in the past – and could do so again.

Aug 5, 2024 · During one of the warm periods within the last 1.1 million years, the center, not just the edges, of Greenland's massive ice sheet melted away, new research has found, giving …

Mar 15, 2021 · Scientists found frozen plant fossils, preserved under a mile of ice on Greenland. The discovery helps confirm a new and troubling understanding that the Greenland Ice Sheet has melted...

Aug 5, 2024 · A new study provides the first direct evidence that the center—not just the edges—of Greenland's ice sheet melted away in the recent geological past and the now-ice-covered island was then home...

Mar 15, 2021 · The discovery of intact plant fossils deep under the Greenland ice sheet suggests that it has completely melted in the recent geologic past. Here, a stretch of relatively new tundra adjoins the fast-wasting edge of the sheet near the southwest coast.

In a study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Monday, the international team of researchers describe the discovery of "perfectly preserved" twigs and...

Mar 19, 2021 · Leaf and twig fossils are discovered to be “ perfectly preserved ” under Greenland’s ice sheet, fascinating scientists and leading to further discovery. In 1966 a US military team drilled over a mile into Greenland’s ice, only seeming to pick up ice and dirt.
