Headlines about melting ice sheets usually focus on what is lost and then move on. What comes next is often overlooked, even ...

Though ice sheet melting is widely talked of and debated, there is limited knowledge about what happens after the period of ...

A Jan. 24 Facebook video (direct link, archive link) shows an authentic National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration graph that reports the relative sea level in Oslo, Norway, has dropped about one ...

Imagine that a massive ice sheet covered Canada and oozed down over a large part of the northern United States, like icing spilling down the side of a cake. That was the situation, somewhere between ...

Gravity measurements of the ice-mass loss in Greenland and Antarctica are complicated by glacial isostatic adjustment. Simultaneous estimates of both signals confirm the negative trends in ice-sheet ...

Estimates of sea level during the mid-Pliocene warm period three million years ago vary by 35 m. Model simulations of glacial isostatic adjustment reconcile these values and indicate little to no ...

Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) is routinely used to adjust sea-level trends determined from tide-gauge data to improve estimates of worldwide sea-level rise. This adjustment may be appropriate for ...

The Greenland and West Antarctic ice caps are melting at half the speed previously predicted, according to analysis of recent satellite data. The Greenland and West Antarctic ice caps are melting at ...

Spatially corrected sea-level records for the Pacific coast indicate that uplift rates are overestimated by 40 percent, scientists report. Uplift is the vertical elevation of Earth's surface in ...
