The Big Thaw
The Big Thaw
There are many concerns about the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet and the Antartic Ice Sheet. As global temperatures increase, so too does the rate that these ice sheets are melting. Sea levels have risen by about 2.8mm per year over the past decade, and recent studies indicate that water flow from these ice sheets contribute to about 0.5mm of this rise. Studies also indicate that the Antartic Ice Sheet may be losing mass, as water losses along the coastal areas of the ice sheet have begun to exceed the accumulated snowfall at the centre, where mass would usually be gained.
