Geoinformation and satellite data reveal increasing rate of global ice loss 02/01/2021 2 Minutes Read A recent study by a team of researchers led by the University of Leeds in the U.K. has shown that the rate of global ice loss is rapidly speeding up. The first-of-its-kind study analyzed satellite Earth Observation data from 1994 to 2017 to reveal a 65% increase in the rate of ice loss during the period. A total of 31 trillion tons of ice was lost during the survey period, triggered by the warming of the atmosphere and oceans and melting of polar ice shee...

Father-and-son team document devastating ice loss at Iceland’s glaciers 30 years apart Louise Boyle Les Bossons glacier melt in Chamonix New images released by a father-and-son team have revealed the devastating impact that the climate crisis has had on Iceland's glaciers over the past 30 years. Dr Kieran Baxter, a lecturer in communication design at the University of Dundee, replicated the photos taken by his father, landscape photographer Colin Baxter, while on a family vacation in 1989. Side-by-side comparisons of the images show how dramatically the outlet glaciers of th...

»Earth's Ice Sheets are Now in Worst-case Zone, 28 Trillion Tonnes Lost in Less Than 25 Years 2-MIN READ Earth's Ice Sheets are Now in Worst-case Zone, 28 Trillion Tonnes Lost in Less Than 25 Years Representative image. The research says that between 1994 and 2017, we lost 28 trillion tonnes of ice that is equivalent to a sheet of ice 100 metres thick covering the whole of the UK. FOLLOW US ON: If the climate crisis seems like a distant threat to humankind then a recent research might put things into perspective. The research says that between 1994 and 2017, we lost 28 trillion tonnes of ice...

Melting away: Earth lost 28 trillion tonnes of ice between 1994 and 2017 The loss is equivalent to a 100-metre thick sheet of ice covering the whole of the UK, according to new research Image: Shutterstock The Earth lost 28 trillion tonnes of ice between 1994 and 2017, which is equivalent to a sheet of ice 100 metres thick covering the whole of the UK. That’s the staggering estimate of new research by the University of Leeds, the University of Edinburgh, University College London and data science specialists Earthwave, which suggests the ice loss rate has increased by 65% over the 23-year...

Ice loss up Melting faster: polar and glacial ice worldwide. Credit: Lucezn/Getty Images Study after study has shown that Earth is losing its glacial and polar ice. Previous research has focussed on specific areas, from mass loss of the Greenland ice sheet to warming in the South Pole. Now, research led by the University of Leeds, UK, has found that global ice loss is increasing at a record rate. Key research points  Global ice loss increased from 0.8 trillion tonnes per year in the 1990s to 1.3 trillion tonnes in 2017 68% of ice loss was driven by atmospheric warming. The remaining 32% i...
