New research warns that nearly 800,000 residents would need emergency medical care for heat stroke and other illnesses in an extended power failure. Other cities are also at risk.

A shocking study of Petermann Glacier in northwest Greenland by researchers from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has revealed a previously unknown interaction between ice and ocean. 

Their research ranges from a search for new eye disease treatments to developing next-gen nanotechnology.

While conducting a study of Petermann Glacier in northwest Greenland, researchers at the University of California, Irvine and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory uncovered a previously unseen way in which the ice and ocean interact.

Study suggests extent of future sea level rise could be vastly underestimated

Scientists studying one of Greenland’s largest glaciers say it is melting far faster than expected in its most vulnerable region, a worrying sign that glaciers perched in the ocean could contribute to sea level rise more quickly than currently forecast.

A major glacier in northwest Greenland is interacting with the ocean tides, scientists reported Monday, resulting in previously unaccounted-for melting and potentially faster sea level rise.

Daily tides stoked with increasingly warmer water ate a hole taller than the Washington Monument at the bottom of one of Greenland’s major glaciers in the last couple years, accelerating the retreat of a crucial part of the glacier, a new study found.

A group of researchers from the University of California, Irvine and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have uncovered a surprising new way in which ice and the ocean interact.

Their research aims to do everything from help develop better, green electric car batteries to studying eye disease.

As Earth’s climate warms, glaciers and ice sheets are retreating, cracking, and adding to sea level rise at record speeds.
