"Greenland's Rising Land and Thriving Vegetation: The Impact of Melting Ice and Global Warming"
Greenland, a major source of meltwater contributing to rising sea levels, is experiencing faster land uplift due to the melting of its glaciers, leading to the emergence of new landmasses. Data from GPS stations reveals that Greenland's bedrock has risen up to 20 centimeters in the last decade, with the loss of mass from peripheral glaciers contributing significantly to this uplift. This phenomenon, driven by climate change, has implications for sea level rise estimates and highlights the rapid local changes occurring in Greenland.
