Studies worry: Is Greenland on thin ice?
From the UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT Greenland on thin ice? Two studies in Nature open deep history of Greenland’s ice sheet — and raise new questions about its stability The ice sheet…
Oh, darn. Study: Most meltwater in Greenland fjords likely comes from icebergs, not glaciers
From the AMERICAN GEOPHYSICAL UNION Most meltwater in Greenland fjords likely comes from icebergs, not glaciers WASHINGTON, DC — Icebergs contribute more meltwater to Greenland’s fjords than previously thought, losing…
Study: 'accelerated melting of the lower Greenland ice sheet' due to bacteria darkening the surface albedo
From RESEARCH ORGANIZATION OF INFORMATION AND SYSTEMS and the “dirty snow” department. Factors promoting growth of cryoconite granule formation and glacial/ice sheet melting Cryoconite granules (see Figure 1) are dark, millimeter-sized…
Claim: Greenland Ice Melt "worse than previously thought"
