Greenland's ice sheet — the second biggest in the world — is cracking open at alarming speed, scientists discover
New 3D maps of the Greenland Ice Sheet show how huge cracks in the ice that accelerate melting expanded between 2016 and 2021.
Greenland ice sheet cracking open quicker than ever before, warn scientists
The world’s second largest body of ice – the Greenland Ice Sheet – is cracking open quicker than previously, scientists have warned. Using 3-D maps of its surface, researchers have found crevasses have got significantly wider and deeper at the sheet’s fast-flowing edges between 2016 and 2021.
Greenland's ice sheet is cracking and literally falling apart at a very alarming rate
Greenland’s Ice Sheet is cracking open at the seams, literally falling apart at speeds indicative of the brutal and accelerating impact of global climate change. In just five years, 930 million cubic meters of crevasses opened up in the Greenland ice sheet.
Greenland Ice Sheet cracking more amid climate change, new study reveals
Large-scale study finds crevasse sizes on Greenland ice sheet increasing in size and depth – and may cause more rapid loss of ice from region
Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking quicker than scientists predicted
The world's second biggest body of ice - the Greenland Ice Sheet - is cracking open quicker than scientists had previously thought. That's according to new research by a team of scientists, led by Dr Tom Chudley, from Durham University's Geography Department.
Cracks in Greenland Ice Sheet growing 'quicker than expected', climate experts warn
The sheet is the second largest body of ice in the world with the news a worrying updated in the battle against global warming.
Greenland ice sheet cracking more rapidly amid climate change: Report
In some areas at the edge of the ice sheet, where it meets the sea, there was a 25 percent increase in crevasses,' says latest study - Anadolu Ajansı
Greenland ice sheet cracking open quicker than before, say scientists
The loss of ice on Greenland has been behind a sea level rise of around 14mm since 1992, scientists have said. If the entire Greenland Ice Sheet was to melt, sea levels could rise
In Greenland, the Ice Doesn’t Just Flow, It Quivers and Quakes
By using a fiber-optic cable to detect tiny vibrations a mile below the surface, scientists discovered a surprising way that ice sheets move.
Ice streams move due to tiny ice quakes: Dynamics of Greenland's ice decrypted
The great ice streams of the Antarctic and Greenland are like frozen rivers, carrying ice from the massive inland ice sheets to the sea—and a change in their dynamics will contribute significantly to sea-level rise.
