When the edge of a Greenland glacier breaks off into the sea to become an iceberg, can a global seismic network “hear” it?

Massive underwater waves triggered by falling icebergs are playing a bigger role in Greenland’s ice loss than scientists once thought. These invisible movements, detected thanks to fiber-optic ...

As the vast ice sheet that crowns Greenland thins and retreats, it is quietly reshaping shorelines thousands of kilometers away. The same physics that will lower local sea levels around the island are ...

The research team ventured to southern Greenland to deploy a 10 kilometer fibre optic cable along the sea floor, adjacent to ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Leigh Stearns, professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the Penn, studies glacier dynamics to uncover how and why these massive rivers of ice evolve and what their changes ...
