Incredible satellite images show Greenland’s massive ice sheet melting

Ocean current system that acts as the planet's thermostat loses strength at a more intense and accelerated rate. The melt is in Greenland and the Canadian glaciers in the Arctic, but the Southern Hemisphere pays the bill in the hottest. Especially South America and Africa. Published in the journal Nature Geoscience and led by a Brazilian scientist, a new study indicates that the “Earth's Thermostat” — nicknamed the Southern Atlantic Revolt Circu…

Sistema de correntes oceânicas que funciona como termostato do planeta perde força em ritmo mais intenso e acelerado O degelo é na Groenlândia e nas geleiras canadenses no Ártico, mas quem paga a conta em mais calor é o Hemisfério Sul. Sobretudo a América do Sul e a África. Publicado na revista Nature Geoscience e liderado por um cientista brasileiro, um novo estudo indica que o “Termostato da Terra” — apelido da Circulação de Revolvimento Merid…

CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2 Reveal Alarming Speed of Greenland’s Ice Meltdown

Paris, France (SPX) Dec 23, 2024 
As global warming accelerates the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet, its contribution to rising sea levels and disruptions in global weather patterns underscores the need for precise monitoring. For the first time, data from ESA's CryoSat and NASA's ICESat-2 missions have been combined to create a detailed picture of the ice sheet's changing shape.

Global warming is driving the rapid melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet, contributing to global sea level rise and disrupting weather patterns worldwide. Because of this, precise measurements of its changing shape are of critical importance for adapting to climate change.Now, scientists have delivered the first measurements of the Greenland Ice Sheet’s changing shape using data from ESA's CryoSat and NASA's ICESat-2 ice missions.
