Warming Greenland ice sheet passes point of no return
New study shows that glaciers are losing ice so rapidly that, even if global warming stopped, Greenland’s glaciers would continue to shrink.
Greenland shed ice at unprecedented rate in 2019
During warm Arctic summer of 2019 Greenland lost 600 billion tons of ice, enough to raise global sea levels by 2.2 millimeters in 2 months.
Trillions of tonnes of Ice Loss and Sea level
There is a new study. Titled “Global sea-level contribution from Arctic land ice: 1971–2017” and published 21st Dec, it lays out the data for the amount of ice loss and sea level rise since 1971. The publication of this study motivated one of the authors to tweet as follows … Quick Summary The study itself … Read more
Annual ice loss in Greenland is bigger than previously thought
It has been known for some time that the annual ice loss during the seasonal melt in Greenland was large, but new calculations revel that it is even bigger than previously thought. The challenge of working out just how big that ice loss is has lacked data because nobody is there on the ground at … Read more
