Understand the importance of Antarctica in the Earth's climatic system. This video highlights the vast ice sheets, rich marine life, and unique bird species that thrive in this cold environment. Additionally, it emphasizes the...

The Canker Luczak Glacier on Greenland's East Coast is rapidly retreating due to global climate change, moving ice and snow towards the sea at an astonishing speed of 38 meters a day. This significant retreat, unexpected since 2001 after...

This video highlights the research efforts of glaciologist Jason Box and polar explorer John Helscher in studying the impact of melt water volume on Greenland's ice sheet. Their findings suggest that increased melt water production is...

This video explores the remote island of Greenland and its significance in understanding climate change. NASA scientists use advanced technology, such as GPS and radar, to monitor changes in the ice sheet and gather data on the Earth's...

Fluvial processes deal with water, aeolian processes deal with wind, so glacial processes must deal with glaciers! What are glaciers and how do they behave? How do glaciers weather rocks? Let's get a closer look!

Learn all about the continent of Antarctica with this fun educational music video and parents! Brought to you by Kids Learning Tube! And don't forget to sing along!

This video is answering the question of how much ice is in Antarctica.

This video explores the significance of Greenland's massive inland ice sheet and how it serves as a laboratory for studying the history of our planet. Scientists are studying the ice sheet to understand how quickly it's melting and how...

Discover how data from the ice core record are used to help scientists predict the future of our climate

It's a freezing cold day inside the National Ice Core Laboratory (NICL) in Denver, Colo., as it is every day of the year. That's because the NICL is a facility for storing and studying ice cores recovered from the polar regions of the...

Will the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico create dead zones? That's the concern of University of Georgia marine scientist Samantha Joye. She's headed to the gulf to investigate how the oil and methane gas discharged by the BP Deepwater...

Gonzalez Videla Base, is on the Antarctic mainland at Waterboat Point in Paradise Bay. It is named after Chilean President Gabriel Gonzalez Videla, who in the 1940s became the first chief of state of any nation to visit Antarctica. The...

Researchers with the NSF/ARRA-funded WISSARD project report that hidden beneath a half-mile of ice in Antarctica is an unexplored part of our biosphere.

This clip looks at the physical features, climate, history and culture of Greenland.

Greenland's ice sheet has lost 4,700 gigatons of ice since 2002, enough to submerge the entire U.S. under half a meter of water, according to a Polar Portal study.

Scientists said iceberg D-28 is among the largest to calve from Antarctic ice in decades, but is not caused by climate change. <br/>

Our planet is a beautiful and awesome place. In a new video, join NASA scientists on a 40-minute visual tour of Earth from space, presented at the IMAX Theater at National Air and Space Museum in...

Many outlet glaciers in Greenland feed ice from the land into fjords, where discharge of icebergs and melting of the glaciers by warmer ocean waters contribute to rising sea levels. David Holland of NYU studies what happens in the fjord...

A National Science Foundation-funded team of researchers from the Universities of Wyoming and Montana has discovered that the Greenland Ice Sheet is sliding more than anyone realized. Surprisingly, they found that the ice slides across...

Bundle up! We’ll be diving into ice-covered waters with an upside-down robot, and exploring Greenland’s massive ice sheet with oceanographer Josh Willis.

A new study shows detailed 3D images of hundreds of channels carved into the bedrock under the North Sea.

A ‘massive melting event’ has affected Greenland’s ice sheet during a heat wave that has brought temperatures more than twice as hot as seasonal averages.

This year’s 12th Annual Goddard Film Festival will highlight Goddard’s...

A number of studies published in the past year show that the melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet is likely unstoppable. The glacier will probably disappear in a matter of centuries, adding 13 feet (4 metres) of water to sea levels,...
