The 2024 melt season for the Greenland Ice Sheet ended with the second-lowest cumulative daily melt extent in this century, ranking twenty-eighth in the satellite record, which began in 1979. A late ...
Parts of the Greenland ice sheet are melting at up to nearly 42 centimeters (cms) per year, and the thinning is affecting ice at higher altitudes than expected, according to a study published this ...
Most of the Greenland melting is currently concentrated in its southern parts. Between 2003 and 2016, the sheet lost about 255 billion tons of ice annually. All of the island's ice will be ...
Greenland's ice sheet is melting faster than scientists previously estimated, according to a study released Wednesday in the journal Nature, with the loss believed to be 20% worse than previously ...
The study, based on data collected from a network of precise GPS stations, satellite data and modelling, shows that as Greenland’s glaciers melt, channels of fast-flowing ice are formed ...
High temperatures are melting Arctic sea ice, glaciers and the Greenland ice sheet. Since 2002, Greenland lost 5,900 billion tonnes (gigatonnes) of ice. To put that into perspective, imagine if ...
A new study published in Nature unveils a surprising discovery: a substantial amount of meltwater is temporarily stored within the Greenland ... studied the melt processes of the ice sheet ...
Greenland's glaciers are melting at an alarming rate, and scientists say this will have consequences in Europe as well. The last decade has seen a peak in extreme ice melting in Greenland.
