A study published Aug. 29, 2022, demonstrates – for the first time – that Greenland’s ice sheet is now so out of balance with prevailing Arctic climate that it no longer can sustain its current size.
The Greenland ice sheet is melting rapidly at its base and injecting far more water and ice into the ocean than previously thought, research shows.
The vast body of ice covering nearly 80% of Greenland's surface is melting in a very alarming rate. Experts had observed extremely high melting rates at the bottom of Greenland ice sheets, making it the current "single largest contributor" to global sea level rise, according to a new study.
