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 ...
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 ...
Scientists analyzed eight ice shelves buttressing glaciers in northern Greenland, which together hold enough ice to raise sea levels by 2.1 meters — nearly 7 feet — should they break down and ...
The event produced an unprecedented very long period (VLP) seismic event observable on seismic stations worldwide for up to nine days. [6] The wave was caught in a narrow fjord which caused the wave to continue to slosh back and forth off the walls for the entire time, [ 7 ] resulting in a global seismic vibration, picked up all over the world ...
The comparison found that the rate of glacial retreat in Greenland during the 21st century has been twice as fast as the retreat in the 20th century. Thousands of Greenland’s glaciers are ...
The Spalte Glacier was a large floating glacier located in Crown Prince Christian Land, northeastern Greenland. The glacier broke up and completely disintegrated in July 2020. The glacier broke up and completely disintegrated in July 2020.
Researchers combed through hundreds of thousands of historical photos of Greenland's coastal glaciers to identify new trends.
The Helheim Glacier in Greenland is being monitored to study glacial earthquakes. A study done in the early 2000s suggests the number of glacial earthquakes are rising. Using data from January 1993 to October 2005, it was found that more earthquakes were identified each year since 2002 and in 2005, twice as many earthquakes were detected than ...
