The period 1990–2000 showed an average annual loss of 41 Gt/y, [21] with 1996 being the last year the Greenland ice sheet saw net mass gain. As of 2022, the Greenland ice sheet had been losing ice for 26 years in a row, [18] and temperatures there had been the highest in the entire past last millennium – about 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) warmer than ...
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 ...
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, ...

Changes in the thickness of the Greenland Ice Sheet are seen based on NASA and ESA satellite data. Between 2013 and last year, the sheet thinned by a little under four feet on average (Northumbria ...
29 August: a study published in Nature Climate Change projected, based on 2000–2019 climatology, that 3.3% of the Greenland ice sheet will melt, resulting in 274 millimetres (10.8 in) of global sea level rise—with "most" of the rise within the 21st century—regardless of how well greenhouse gas release is limited.
Ice loss is influenced by the ways in which the wind and ocean interact with the ice sheet, CNN said. And the Greenland ice sheet is losing ice, in spades — 2 billion tons lost in one day during ...
In the 2010s, the Greenland ice sheet melted at its fastest rate during at least the past 12,000 years, and is on track to exceed that later in the century. [122] In 2012, 2019 and 2021, so-called "massive melting events" occurred, when practically the entire surface of the ice sheet was melting and no accumulation took place.
