    Surface lakes are causing Antarctic ice shelves to 'bend' and buckle under the massive weight of meltwater, warns new research. See NATIONAL story NNICE. The filling and draining of meltwater lakes has been found to cause a floating Antarctic ice shelf to flex, potentially threatening its stability. Meltwater lakes can contain water weighing 50,000 to two million tons each, and that pushes downward on the ice, creating an indent. If the lake drains, this indent pops back up. If the resultant stress is large enough, the ice surrounding the lake basin weakens, and may start to break, the researchers predict. A team of British and American researchers, led by Cambridge University scientists, has measured how much the McMurdo ice shelf in Antarctica flexes in response to the filling and draining of meltwater lakes on its surface.

    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."

    Forscher untersuchen das Schmelzen des grönländischen Eisschildes / 2018 *** Sea ice breaks up in the spring in Disko Bay, 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." *** Local Caption ***
