Greenland's ice sheet currently spans over 1.7 million square kilometers and is the largest freshwater reservoir in the ...

In a new study, my colleagues and I mapped crevasses across the entirety of the Greenland ice sheet in 2016 and 2021. To do ...

Crevasses play an integral part in the life cycle of glaciers, and as they grow they hold the potential to further accelerate ...

Large-scale study finds crevasse sizes on Greenland ice sheet increasing in size and depth – and may cause more rapid loss of ...

The Greenland ... If the entire ice sheet were to melt sea levels may rise up to 24ft, although experts say this is a highly unlikely scenario. Using over 8,000 3D satellite images, Dr Chudley ...

Findings on Greenland's crevasses indicate rising ice loss rates, emphasizing the importance of automated detection methods ...

Some coastal areas are already struggling to adapt to sea level rise, and millions of people around the world are at risk of ...

Observing Greenland ... ice sheet in 2016 and 2021. To do this, we used the “ArcticDEM”: three-dimensional surface maps of the polar regions based on high resolution satellite images.

The increased crevassing, especially prominent in fast-flowing portions of the ice sheet, could lead to a feedback loop that accelerates ice loss from the glacier, which ultimately raises sea levels.

The study, published in the journal Nature Gioscience, will be used to improve models about the future behaviour of the Greenland Ice Sheet. open image in gallery If the entire Greenland Ice Sheet ...
