The paper also suggested that ice losses from Greenland may be reversed by reducing temperature to 0.6 °C (1.1 °F) or lower, up until the entirety of South Greenland ice melts, which would cause 1.8 m (6 ft) of sea level rise and prevent any regrowth unless CO 2 concentrations is reduced to 300 ppm. If the entire ice sheet were to melt, it ...
The Greenland Ice Sheet lost 5,091 sq km (1930 sq miles) of area between 1985 and 2022, according to a study in the journal Nature published on Wednesday, the first full ice-sheet wide estimate of ...
Nioghalvfjerdsbræ), sometimes referred to as "79 N Glacier", is a large glacier located in King Frederick VIII Land, northeastern GreenlandIt drains an area of 103,314 km 2 (39,890 sq mi) of the Greenland Ice Sheet with a flux (quantity of ice moved from the land to the sea) of 14.3 km 3 (3.4 cu mi) per year, as measured for 1996.

A NASA study revealed a glacier that was one of the fastest-shrinking ice and snow masses on Earth is making an unexpected comeback. Greenland's glacier, named Jakobshavn, was retreating roughly 1 ...
Jakobshavn Glacier (Danish: Jakobshavn Isbræ), also known as Ilulissat Glacier (Greenlandic: Sermeq Kujalleq), is a large outlet glacier in West Greenland. It is located near the Greenlandic town of Ilulissat (colonial name in Danish : Jakobshavn ) and ends at the sea in the Ilulissat Icefjord .
New research suggests the Greenland ice sheet is on track to cross a critical threshold that could cause runaway melting, but that it’s also possible the threshold will be crossed temporarily, ...
It drains an area of 91,780 km 2 (35,440 sq mi) of the Greenland Ice Sheet with a flux (quantity of ice moved from the land to the sea) of 11.7 km 3 (2.8 cu mi) per year, as calculated for 1996, [2] increasing to 15 km 3 (3.6 cu mi) in 2015. [3] The glacier holds a 0.5-meter sea-level rise equivalent.
Daily tides stoked with increasingly warmer water ate a hole taller than the Washington Monument at the bottom of one of Greenland's major glaciers in the last couple years, accelerating the ...
