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

To do so, Dr. Michele Petrini of Norway's Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research and colleagues assessed the surface mass balance of Greenland's ice sheet, referencing the difference between snow ...

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 ...

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

"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 ...

“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.
