18 cze 2024 · Ice Sheets Today offers the latest satellite data and scientific analyses on surface melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet in the Northern Hemisphere and Antarctic Ice Sheet in the Southern Hemisphere. Surface melt on each ice sheet results from a combination of daily weather conditions and the amount of solar energy absorbed by its snow and ice.
17 sty 2024 · Icebergs have tumbled from Greenland’s glaciers for thousands of years as part of a natural cycle that typically balanced glacier growth in the winter with melting and retreat in the summer. The new study finds that ice retreat has far outpaced growth throughout the 21st century.
13 paź 2022 · A new study finds that rising air temperatures are working with warm ocean waters to speed the melting of Greenland’s seaside glaciers.
18 paź 2023 · Greenland holds enough ice to raise global sea levels by 7 metres if it were all to melt. The sheet currently loses around 270 billion tonnes of ice each year, and contributes a substantial ...
9 lis 2023 · Greenland’s mountain glaciers and floating ice shelves are melting faster than they were just a few decades ago and becoming destabilized, according to two separate studies published this...
17 sty 2024 · Greenland’s glaciers are retreating everywhere and all at once. A comprehensive analysis of satellite data finds that the Greenland ice sheet has lost more ice in the past four decades than...
21 sty 2019 · A new study warns that Greenland’s ice is melting faster than scientists previously thought. But perhaps the biggest surprise is that most of this ice loss is from the land-fast ice sheet...
