Greenland Ice Sheet
Greenland ice sheet reveals past vulnerability
NEWS: Greenland ice melt caused sea levels to rise several metres some 400,000 years ago, at temperatures expected this century
Antarctic and Greenland glaciers at risk of “catastrophic breakup”
New research shows that Large stretches of ice along the polar coastlines could fall into the sea faster than originally thought
NASA reports “extreme melt” of Greenland ice sheet underway but climate change link unconfirmed
Indian/NASA collaboration reveals 97% of ice surface area has begun to melt, more than double the usual extent during summer. However, more data required to attribute melting to climate change.
Greenland’s glaciers contributing less to sea level rise than thought
Glaciers have “sped up” and contribution to sea level rise still significant but data shows we’re not on track for worst case scenario.
Greenland ice sheet could melt completely with 1.6°C temperature rise
New research find the Greenland ice sheet may be more sensitive to long term climate change then scientists had previously thought.
