    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."

    9. See National News story NNamazon.The vital Amazon rainforests are failing to keep up with climate change, warns new research. A team of more than 100 scientists has assessed the impact of global warming on thousands of tree species across the Amazon to discover the winners and losers from 30 years of climate change. Their analysis found the effects of climate change are altering the rainforest’s composition of tree species - but not quickly enough to keep up with the changing environment.The team, led by University of Leeds in collaboration with more than 30 institutions around the world, used long-term records from more than a hundred plots as part of the Amazon Forest Inventory Network (RAINFOR) to track the lives of individual trees across the Amazon region. *** Local Caption *** 28477454

(note people near left edge for scale). See National News story NNmelt. 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.
