NASA scans discover abandoned Cold War-era ‘secret city’ under Greenland's ice sheet; Here's what scientists expect next

An abandoned “city” from the Cold War has been discovered beneath the ice in a radar image captured by NASA scientists in Greenland. The deserted city belongs to Camp Century, a military installation constructed in 1959 after excavating a network of tunnels below the Greenland ice sheet's near-surface layer. Here's what researchers expect next with NASA discovery The goal of …

Scientists reveal how Greenland Ice Sheet has shrunk over past four decades

Hindustan Times

The Greenland Ice Sheet lost 5,091 sq km 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. It suggests previous estimates of changes to the Greenland Ice Sheet's mass balance - how much snow and ice is accumulated each year …

Greenland and Antarctica’s ice sheets could together contribute more than 38 centimetres to global sea level rise by 2100, if greenhouse gas emissions continue, according to a study led by NASA. With warming air temperatures melting the surface of the ice sheet, and warming ocean temperatures causing ocean-terminating glaciers to retreat, Greenland’s ice sheet is a significant contributor to sea …
