  • The Greenland ice sheet is a large contributor to sea-level rise primarily because of the increased speed of its glaciers in the southeast and northwest. This study looks at a previously stable ice stream in northeast Greenland, and finds that it is thinning due to regional warming. This region drains 16% of the ice sheet but has not figured in model projections of sea-level rise, indicating an under-estimation of Greenland contributions.

  • Both marine- and land-terminating glaciers in southeast Greenland have experienced dramatic recent retreat. An 80-year record of historical aerial photographs and satellite imagery shows that many land-terminating glaciers in this region retreated more rapidly in the 1930s than today, whereas marine-terminating glaciers have retreated faster in the 2000s.

  • Aerial imagery from the 1980s is used to calculate ice mass loss around the entire Greenland Ice Sheet from 1900 to the present; during the twentieth century the Greenland Ice Sheet contributed at least 25.0 ± 9.4 millimetres of global-mean sea level rise.
