For most of us, first-hand knowledge of Greenland is probably limited to flying over it en route to North America. It's ...

Since 1990, as the atmosphere and ocean have warmed under rapidly increasing greenhouse gas emissions, Greenland's mass balance has gone into the red. Ice losses due to enhanced melt, rain ...

adding 20Gt to the surface mass balance. The reason for these wet – and also cold – spells over the Greenland ice sheet has to do with atmospheric blocking. These high-pressure “blocking” weather ...

Combining data from 50 satellite surveys of Antarctica and Greenland, spanning the years 1992 to 2020, scientists from the Ice Sheet Mass Balance Inter-comparison Exercise, or IMBIE, were able to ...

"It's a rare opportunity to directly link such an event to Greenland ice sheet surface mass balance and dynamics." The atmospheric river had pelted Svalbard with rain, but 2,000 kilometers (1,245 ...

Greenland's glaciers are melting rapidly due to Arctic warming and ocean heatwaves—posing global threats to sea levels, ...

“You have committed mass loss from the ice,” Alley said ... subtracting ice was most out of balance. If Earth starts to undergo more years like 2012, Greenland melt could trigger 30 inches ...

As the chart shows, Greenland last saw an annual net gain of ice in 1996. Chart showing the surface (blue), marine (green), basal (yellow) and total (red) surface mass balance for 1987 to 2023.

Since 1990, as the atmosphere and ocean have warmed under rapidly increasing greenhouse gas emissions, Greenland’s mass balance has gone into the red. Ice losses due to enhanced melt ...
