Insights from The Ocean under Antarctic Ice Shelf
Direct Measurements from below the Antarctic Ice shelf have been published. In a warming climate understanding what is happening is important.
Greenland rapidly changing from snowcone to popsicle
New Study reveals that ice slabs on Greenland ice sheet are growing. This has huge implications for melt runoff and sea level projections.
How much Ice is being lost in the Antarctic?
By using satellite data over a period of four decades it becomes possible to work out how much ice is being lost in the Antarctic. So how much is being lost? The answer comes via a new study that has just been published in PNAS on 22nd January 2019. Let’s take a look to see … Read more
Greenland Ice Mass melt is Accelerating
Shocking new insights reveals that the Greenland ice mass is rapidly melting. The rate of now four times faster than it was in 2003. This will lead to a faster sea level rise. Let’s jump into the actual study and see what it actually tells us. New Study: Accelerating changes in ice mass within Greenland, … Read more
Trillions of tonnes of Ice Loss and Sea level
There is a new study. Titled “Global sea-level contribution from Arctic land ice: 1971–2017” and published 21st Dec, it lays out the data for the amount of ice loss and sea level rise since 1971. The publication of this study motivated one of the authors to tweet as follows … Quick Summary The study itself … Read more
