Follow Video NASA Scientists Create First 3-D Model Of Greenland Ice Sheet WATCH: Using decades of observations, NASA scientists have created the first 3-D model of the Greenland ice sheet. The model shows how distinct layers of ice were laid down over time and suggests how today's ice sheet may respond to climate change. Video courtesy NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio.

News How Antarctica Is Melting From Above And Below

Upside-down rivers lapping at the bottoms of ice sheets and brilliant blue mini-lakes dotted on top may be speeding up Antarctic melting.

Follow Video Antarctica Is Melting At A Dangerous Pace—Here's Why Why should we care about Antarctica ice melt? Antarctica's ice shelves are disintegrating and the glaciers behind them are flowing faster into the ocean. This could spell disaster for coastal areas around the world, and scientists are in a race against time to understand how it's happening. Sea levels around the world could rise by over four metres if all of the ice melted just on West Antarctica. Glaciologist Ian Howat explains what we've learned so far and what the consequences may be for our planet.

About Nature

As residents of Earth, we are all at the mercy of Mother Nature and her seas, deserts, mountains and jungles, among many other harsh and unforgiving environments.

Anything created by humanity, and even humanity itself, can be destroyed by nature. Striking with little warning, hurricanes are among the most powerful natural disasters because of their size and potential for destruction.

Earthquakes can be equally devastating, killing thousands and changing the course of history. Tornadoes are relatively brief but violent, potentially causing winds in excess of 300 kilometres per hour.

Flooding is the most common natural hazards while only one sand geyser has been reported in human history. Australians are no strangers to drought, a natural disaster often exacerbated by widespread bushfires.

The biosphere, an umbrella term for all the parts of Earth where life exists, stretches from the deepest tree roots and the darkest ocean trenches to the most impenetrable rainforests and highest mountaintops.
