Greenland's ice sheet loses about 193 square kilometers of ice per year, researchers found. Study co-author Chad Greene and his colleagues said they qualified the extent of calving, which ...

In two recent studies, researchers suggest a weakening ocean current system is to blame for a persistent cold spot in the ...

For the past year, the TMB clocked in at a loss of 84Gt of ice. This means that 2021-22 was the 26th year in a row where the Greenland ice sheet has lost mass overall. Greenland last saw an annual net ...

Greenland's ice sheet currently spans over 1.7 ... Dr. Michele Petrini of Norway's Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research and colleagues assessed the surface mass balance of Greenland's ice sheet, ...

Overall, the total area of ice loss in the past 30 years is slightly greater than the size of Massachusetts and represents about 1.6% of Greenland’s total ice and glacier cover.

“Current consensus estimates of ice-sheet mass balance have underestimated recent mass loss from Greenland by as much as 20%,” the study’s authors wrote. In recent decades, almost every ...

Climate & Environment Greenland ice sheet set to raise sea levels by nearly a foot, study finds. New research suggests the massive ice sheet is already set to lose more than 3 percent of its mass ...

The Greenland ice sheet is one of more than a dozen theoretical climate tipping points — rapid, ... It has lost mass every year since 1998, Moon said.

Greenland's melting ice mass is now the No. 1 driver of sea level rise, according to Bierman. "In the early years of the climate warming, it was mountain glaciers that were doing most of the ...

This means that 2022-23 was the 27th year in a row where the Greenland ice sheet has lost mass overall. As the chart shows, Greenland last saw an annual net gain of ice in 1996. Chart showing the ...

When the ice sheet surface is lowered by melting at a rate outweighing the uplift of the landscape due to glacial isostatic adjustment, then the Greenland ice sheet mass tips from approximately 50 ...
