Study: ‘Missing ice problem’ finally solved
Phys.org: ‘Missing ice problem’ finally solved. During glacial periods, the sea level falls, because vast quantities of water are stored in the massive inland glaciers. To date, however, computer models have been unable to reconcile sea-level height with the thickness of the glaciers. Using innovative new calculations, a team of […]

Study: Greenland’s ice sheet could begin losing more than it gains every year as soon as 2055, a new study says
Arctic Today: Greenland’s ice sheet could begin losing more than it gains every year as soon as 2055, a new study says. But if strong measures are taken to prevent the rise of global temperatures, the negative threshold could be avoided.
If global warming continues unabated, the surface of the
