Climate change is altering Greenland ice sheet, accelerating sea level rise

2016-01-04 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: The Greenland ice sheet has traditionally been pictured as a bit of a sponge for glacier meltwater, but new research has found it is rapidly losing the ability to buffer its contribution to rising sea levels, says a York University researcher. York U Professor William Colgan, a co-author on the study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, helped analyse data from three expeditions to the Greenland ice sheet in 2012, 2013 and 2015. The research was done in conjunction with lead researcher...

Faster retreat of Greenland's ice sheet observed

2015-12-18 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Agence France-Presse: The Greenland ice sheet, a potentially massive contributor to land-encroaching sea-level rise, lost mass twice as fast between 2003 and 2010 as during the entire 20th century, researchers said on Wednesday. Greenland ice loss contributed to a global average sea level rise of 25mm between 1990 and 2010 - mainly from surface melt, said the research published in the journal Nature. The total mass lost was over 9 000 gigatons (about one billion tons). It was net loss, meaning the difference between...

Greenland Ice Sheet during the 20th Century -- a missing link in IPCC's climate report

2015-12-17 06:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: For the first time, climate researchers from the Centre for GeoGenetics at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, together with a national and an International team of researchers, have pubished in the scientific journal Nature their direct observations of the reduction and melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet during the latest 110 years. All previous estimations have been based on computer models, which although valuable do not provide the same level of insight as direct observations. In this paper,...
