In 1964, NASA first tracked a satellite with lasers; the method later helped measure sea-level rise and ice lossIn 1964, NASA researchers made history by tracking a satellite for the first time using a laser beam. Leveraging spare radar components and...
In 1977, a Saudi prince towed a chunk of Alaskan iceberg to Iowa and served 4,000-year-old ice to guests. Decades later, his bizarre plan to ship icebergs for drinking water is attracting serious engineering interestA Saudi prince proposed towing icebergs for freshwater in 1977. Engineering challenges prevented this ambitious plan from becoming reality....

'Embrace the penguin,' says White House in cryptic message to push Trump's Greenland bid; social media retorts with fact-checkThe White House is using social media and AI images to promote its Greenland ambitions. A recent post featured an AI image of Donald Trump ...
Greenland has lost more ice than previously thought: StudyClimate change has led Greenland's ice sheet to lose 20% more ice than previously anticipated, according to a study released Wednesday that...
1.5 degrees Celsius warming cap could 'halve' sea level rise from melting iceSince 1993, melting land ice has contributed to at least half of global sea level rise and scientists have previously warned that the vast ...
Study says the speed of ice loss is increasing, Earth losing 1.3 trillion tonnes a yearThe researchers noted that ice melt across the globe raises sea levels, increases the risk of flooding to coastal communities, and threaten...
