Satellite observations have revealed the Greenland ice sheet’s rapid thinning, which has accelerated as the planet warms Incredible satellite images show Greenland’s massive ice sheet melting ...
Global warming has increased the speed at which glaciers in Greenland are melting by fivefold over the last 20 years, scientists from the University of Copenhagen said on Friday. Greenland's ice ...
At the top of the world, northern Greenland’s huge glaciers, long thought to be relatively stable, are in trouble, a new study shows. ... Between 2006 and 2018, the melting of Greenland’s ice ...
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 .
If the Paris Agreement goal of staying below 2 °C (3.6 °F) is achieved, melting of Greenland ice alone would still add around 6 cm (2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) to global sea level rise by the end of the century. If there are no reductions in emissions, melting would add around 13 cm (5 in) by 2100, [19]: 1302 with a worst-case of about 33 cm (13 in). [20]
The Mittivakkat Glacier is located in southeast Greenland, and is part of the largest ice field on Ammassalik Island. This glacier has been in retreat (negative net mass balance) throughout most of recorded history (1898–2008). [1] Reindeer bones were recovered from the retreating glacier in 2005, and dated to about 1200-1300 AD. [2]
Pay attention to Greenland. The land's colossal ice sheet — around three times the size of Texas — is melting some 270 billion tons of ice into the sea each year as Earth warms. And the ...
Petermann Glacier (Danish: Petermann Gletsjer) is a large glacier located in North-West Greenland to the east of Nares Strait. It connects the Greenland ice sheet to the Arctic Ocean at 81°10' north latitude, near Hans Island .
