NASA's glaciers and ice sheet data help reveal ways these frozen giants influence our weather, climate, communities, and oceans. There are approximately 700,000 square kilometers of glaciers and ice sheets in the world located on every continent except Australia.
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.
Data from NASA's GRACE and GRACE Follow-On satellites show that the land ice sheets in both Antarctica (upper chart) and Greenland (lower chart) have been losing mass since 2002. The GRACE mission ended in June 2017.
16 sie 2019 · Locations where ice sheets reached the continental shelf-break during multiple Quaternary glaciations (e.g. Norwegian, Greenland, northern and eastern Canadian, and Barents-Kara Sea margins)...
The world glacier explorer is an interactive web application with which you can learn (and teach) about the world’s glaciers, their location, their climate, and the ice they store. By “glaciers”, we mean all glaciers outside of the two continental ice sheets (Greenland and Antarctica).
