Greenland's Glaciers Melting at Alarming Rate

A study has found that Greenland's glaciers and ice caps have lost at least 587 km3 of ice over the last century, accounting for 1.38 millimeters of sea-level rise. The speed at which the water melted between 2000 and 2019 was three times higher than the long-term average since 1900. The research provides critical insights into long-term changes to the glaciers and ice caps as a result of climate change, which has contributed about one fifth to global sea-level rise in the last decade.
