Lake Poinsett is one of the largest lakes in the state of South Dakota. The lake is located northeast of the town of Arlington, South Dakota. It has the name of the U. S. Secretary of War, Joel Poinsett. [2] In 1838, the area was first visited by the expedition of Joseph Nicollet and John Fremont, who camped on the lake's north shore. Poinsett ...
Nioghalvfjerdsbræ), sometimes referred to as "79 N Glacier", is a large glacier located in King Frederick VIII Land, northeastern GreenlandIt drains an area of 103,314 km 2 (39,890 sq mi) of the Greenland Ice Sheet with a flux (quantity of ice moved from the land to the sea) of 14.3 km 3 (3.4 cu mi) per year, as measured for 1996.

The Greenland Ice Sheet lost 5,091 sq km (1930 sq miles) of area between 1985 and 2022, according to a study in the journal Nature published on Wednesday, the first full ice-sheet wide estimate of ...
New research suggests the Greenland ice sheet is on track to cross a critical threshold that could cause runaway melting, but that it’s also possible the threshold will be crossed temporarily ...
Image showing sea level change during the end of the last glacial period. Meltwater pulse 1A is indicated. Meltwater pulse 1A (MWP1a) is the name used by Quaternary geologists, paleoclimatologists, and oceanographers for a period of rapid post-glacial sea level rise, between 14,700 and 13,500 years ago, during which the global sea level rose between 16 meters (52 ft) and 25 meters (82 ft) in ...
