How Catastrophic Floods May Have Carved Greenland’s ‘Grand Canyon’
In a new study, researchers propose a mechanism for how mega-canyons under northern Greenland’s ice sheet formed: from a series of catastrophic outburst floods that suddenly and repeatedly drained lakes of meltwater.

New Project Will Study Greenland’s Helheim Glacier in Unprecedented Detail
Using drones, laser scanners, and high-resolution models, researchers hope to find out more about the processes driving rapid melting in this region.

It’s Raining on the Greenland Ice. In the Winter.
Rainy weather is becoming increasingly common over parts of the Greenland ice sheet, triggering sudden melting events that are eating at the ice and priming the surface for more widespread future melting, says a new study.

Uncovering the Future of Greenland’s Ice Sheet
Joerg Schaefer and Gisela Winckler, scientists at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, received funding from the Center for Climate and Life to examine the vulnerability of Greenland’s massive ice sheet.

The Melting of the Greenland Ice, Seen Up Very Close
A small team of scientists ventures out onto the Greenland ice sheet to study the forces large and small that are accelerating the melting of the world’s second-largest ice mass.
By studying thousands of buildings and analyzing their electricity use, Columbia Climate School Dean Alexis Abramson has been able to uncover ways to significantly cut energy consumption and emissions. Watch the Video: “Engineering a Cooler Future Through Smarter Buildings“
