Greenland ice sheet cracking open quicker than ever before, warn scientists
Greenland ice sheet cracking open quicker than ever before, warn scientists - If the Greenland Ice Sheet was to melt, sea levels could rise by seven metres
Scientists blame climate change as world’s second largest ice sheet cracks open faster than before
Experts warn that sea levels could rise by seven metres and cause mass destruction if the ice sheet was to melt
New 3-D Study of the Greenland Ice Sheet Shows Glaciers Falling Apart Faster Than Expected
Crevasses are widening faster as meltwater drives fissures deeper into the ice and lubricates the base of glaciers, increasing concerns about how quickly their melting will raise sea levels.
Greenland’s Ice Sheet is Fracturing Faster Than Ever: A Warning for Rising Seas
The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open at an accelerating pace, with crevasses growing larger and deeper due to the effects of climate change. A new study using high-resolution 3D mapping has reveal
Cracks in Greenland Ice Sheet growing more rapidly
The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. Dr Tom Chudley, in our Department of Geography, led a new large-scale study of crevasses – wedge-shaped fractures or cracks – on the world’s second largest body of ice.
Greenland’s glaciers are falling apart faster than expected
A new large-scale study of crevasses on the Greenland Ice Sheet shows that those cracks are widening faster as the climate warms, which is likely to speed ice loss and global sea level rise. Crevasses are wedge-shaped fractures and cracks that open in glaciers where the ice begins to flow faster.
Cracks in Greenland Ice Sheet grow more rapidly in response to climate change, study warns
The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new large-scale study of crevasses on the world's second largest body of ice.
