Forscher untersuchen das Schmelzen des grönländischen Eisschildes / 2018 *** An Air Greenland AS350 helicopter transporting ice drilling equipment, Nuussuaq Peninsula ice cap, west Greenland. See National story NNmelt; Greenland's ice sheet is melting at a scale "off the charts" compared with the previous four centuries, warns a new study. Researchers say that if the Greenland ice sheet melting continues at "unprecedented rates" - which they attribute to warmer summers - it could accelerate the already fast pace of sea level rise. Surface melting across Greenland's mile-thick ice sheet began increasing in the mid-19th Century and then ramped up dramatically during the 20th and early 21st Centuries - and shows no signs of abating, according to the study. Scientists say their findings, published in the journal Nature, provide new evidence of the impacts of climate change on Arctic melting and global sea level rise. Study lead author Dr Luke Trusel, a glaciologist at Rowan University in the United States, said: "Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet has gone into overdrive. "As a result, Greenland melt is adding to sea level more than any time during the last three-and-a-half centuries, if not thousands of years. "And increasing melt began around the same time as we started altering the atmosphere in the mid-1800s."

The world’s second largest ice sheet is melting far more rapidly than previously thought - leaving tens of millions more people exposed to floods, reveals a new study. Scientists around the world have warned Greenland’s ice sheet is melting faster than expected, seven times more than in the 90s. The speedy melt will push sea levels up further - exposing 40 million more people to coastal flooding, according to the findings published in the journal Nature. Study lead researcher Professor Andrew Shepherd, of Leeds University, said: “As a rule of thumb, for every centimetre rise in global sea level another six million people are exposed to coastal flooding around the planet *** Local Caption *** *** Local Caption *** 30504898

Meltwater from the Russell Galcier that drains the Greenland Ice Sheet 26 km inland from Kangerlussuaq. Like most Greenland glaciers it is both receeding and speeding up as a result of global warming and the rivers that drain them are becoming more swollen by greater quantities of melt water
