The new map of ice flow speeds throughout Antarctica will improve our understanding of the vast continent and of future sea level rise.

You can adjust temperature, snowfall and other factors to control ice melt in Antarctica.

A new simulation lets you take control of ice melt in Greenland over 12,000 years.

Greenland’s melting ice sheet could generate more sea level rise than previously thought if greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase and warm the atmosphere at their current rate, according to a new modeling study.

New NASA data show that Jakobshavn Glacier — Greenland's fastest-moving and fastest-thinning glacier for most of the 2000s — grew for a third year in a row. However, it continues to contribute to sea level rise.

More than a trillion new measurements of Earth’s height – blanketing everything from glaciers in Greenland, to mangrove forests in Florida, to sea ice surrounding Antarctica – are now available to the public.
