Meet the Qimmit, Greenand's genetically diverse sled dogs that have been long-time Artic companions.

The collapse of the world’s second-largest ice sheet would drown cities worldwide. Is that ice more vulnerable than we know?

Researchers analyzed ancient and modern genetic samples of the Greenlandic Qimmit breed to shed light on the long ...

Greenland is renowned for its substantial ice sheet. It appears on satellite maps as a massive, immobile, frozen block. But a ...

A study published on July 10 in the journal Science maps the path of Greenland sled dogs from their ancient origins to the present day. Researchers sequenced the genomes of 92 dogs from regions of ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Until recently, geologists believed that Greenland was a fortress of ice, mostly unmelted for millions of years. But, two years ago, using soil once buried a mile beneath the island’s ...

Scientists in recent years have made progress in finding ancient DNA in fossils, gaining insight into organisms that lived ...

Throughout their long history, Qimmit have remained working dogs–still almost exclusively bred by mushers to pull sleds for ...

Genomic data shed light on how populations of sled dogs — and their human handlers — have shifted over past 800 years.

A genomic analysis of Greenland’s Qimmeq dogs suggest they and their human partners arrived on the island centuries earlier than previously thought.

A new study in Science uses ancient and modern DNA to tell the Qimmeq’s story. It’s a story not just about dogs, but also ...

Scientists have discovered a massive lake bed hiding deep beneath Greenland’s thick sheet of ice. The lake would have covered 2,700 square miles, though it’s … ...
