Researchers have zoomed in on Greenland to see how much of the ice cap will melt by the year 2100. The answer: More than previously thought.

As the ice in the clouds melts into droplets, they reflect more sunlight. But in the end there is no more ice left to melt.

Satellite and tracking data can help provide a safer climbing route up the dangerous Khumbu Icefall of the world's highest mountain.

When Los Chocoyos in Guatemala erupted 84,000 years ago, emissions of sulfur and chlorine may have affected the climate for decades.

Melting of ice in permafrost ground leads to processes of change in the landscape – thermokarst. This may cause faster thawing of the permafrost.

It's not about the Black Death or the dinosaurs dying out. "The Great Dying" is an event in the geological perspective. The largest of all mass extinctions on Earth. We are at the end of the Permian Period, 252 million years ago.

The coldest ground on the Earth is found in the Transantarctic Mountains. This is revealed in a new map developed by researchers from UiO.

– We need to understand how glaciers are shrinking in order to better adapt to climate change impacts such as changes to water supply, landslides and avalanches, says Prof. Andreas Kääb, a glacier expert from the University of Oslo in Norway.
