Sea levels could rise by two metres by 2100, sparking a refugee crisis unlike anything the world has ever seen.
The ice sheet is melting and permafrost is thawing. What's happening in Greenland will speed up climate change across the world.
Greenland's ice is largely responsible for the accelerating pace of sea-level rise. A new analysis shows that, while Greenland accounted for just 5% of the rise in 1993, that figure rose to 25% by 2014.
A glaciologist develops a lightweight method for probing the depths of Greenland's ice sheet to answer a crucial question: How fast is it melting?
