Ice streams make predicting future changes in ice sheets very difficult. While it’s relatively easy to estimate how much more melting might occur if air temperatures increase by say 2°C, nobody ...
The ice sheet that covers over 75 percent of Greenland still remains a large mystery to this day. Last year, scientists discovered a canyon twice the length of the Grand Canyon hidden beneath the ice.
“This is missing physics, which isn’t in our ice sheet models. They don’t have the ability to simulate melting beneath grounded ice, which we think is happening," Bradley said.
Greenland's ice sheet is about 2 miles (3.2 km) thick and spans an area three times the size of Texas. And it's already shrunk in the ancient past.
Between 2000 and 2010, Greenland lost about 412 trillion lbs. (187 trillion kg) of ice per year. Between 2010 and 2018, the ice sheet lost roughly 631 trillion lbs. (286 trillion kilograms) of ice ...
A team of scientists have found organic soil that has been frozen to the bottom of the Greenland Ice Sheet for 2.7 million years, providing strong evidence that the ice sheet has survived many ...
