Researchers identify powerful new factor threatening coastlines worldwide: 'Now second largest contributor'

Researchers identify powerful new factor threatening coastlines worldwide: 'Now second largest contributor'

A new study reveals how much vanishing glaciers contribute to the rise of the world's sea level, as nearly 300 billion tons of ice are lost annually. What's happening? Data from the Glacier Mass Balance Intercomparison Exercise, an international scientific community initiative, played a big part in an analysis published in Nature magazine that outlined the global glacier mass changes the planet experienced from 2000 to 2023. The study revealed t…

Are Melting Glaciers Creating 2,500 km of New Arctic Coastlines? Should We Worry?

Have Climate Changes Created 2,500 km of New Arctic Coastlines? What Does This Mean for Our Planet's Future? Have you ever wondered what happens to the landscape when massive ice sheets retreat? Dear readers, welcome to another enlightening article from FreeAstroScience.com! Today, we're excited to take you on a journey through one of the most striking yet often overlooked consequences of Arctic climate change: the emergence of entirely new coas…

Greenland’s Melting Glaciers Expose 1,620 km of New Coastline Since 2000

Over the past 20 years, Greenland’s glaciers have melted enough to expose 1,620 kilometres of new coastline, altering the Arctic’s geography. Satellite data from 2000 to 2020 tracked these changes, showing significant ice loss. The study also identified 35 newly exposed islands, some of which remain unclaimed on existing maps. Scientists warn of environmental cons…Over the past 20 years, Greenland’s glaciers have melted enough to expose 1,620 ki…

Greenland’s glaciers are retreating, revealing new land and islands

Greenland's melting glaciers have exposed 1,620 kilometers of previously ice-covered coastline in the last 20 years. Arctic marine-terminating glaciers have significantly receded, according to satellite imagery from 2000 to 2020, exposing new land to the elements. This change illustrates the continued effects of global warming as the region's geography is altered by shrinking ice flows. The newly exposed areas now face environmental changes, suc…

Environmental News Network - Drone Experiment Reveals How Greenland Ice Sheet is Changing

A global perspective on environmental issues. Our mission is to inform, educate, enable and create a platform for global environmental action.

Greenland hides a "radioactive secret" under the ice, and the Americans, if they annexed the island, would be dealing with a huge environmental problem that they themselves created many years ago.
