Greenland ice sheet is falling apart

The Greenland ice sheet is falling apart: New study
Observing Greenland from a helicopter, the main problem is one of comprehending scale. I have thought we were skimming low over the waves of a fjord, before noticing the tiny shadow of a seabird far below and realizing what I suspected were floating shards of ice were in fact icebergs the size of office blocks.
Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking quicker than scientists predicted
The world's second biggest body of ice - the Greenland Ice Sheet - is cracking open quicker than scientists had previously thought. That's according to new research by a team of scientists, led by Dr Tom Chudley, from Durham University's Geography Department.
New 3-D Study of the Greenland Ice Sheet Shows Glaciers Falling Apart Faster Than Expected
Crevasses are widening faster as meltwater drives fissures deeper into the ice and lubricates the base of glaciers, increasing concerns about how quickly their melting will raise sea levels.
Cracks in Greenland Ice Sheet grow more rapidly in response to climate change, study warns
The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new large-scale study of crevasses on the world's second largest body of ice.
More, bigger crevasses open up in Greenland ice sheet, threatening increased sea level rise
The increased crevassing, especially prominent in fast-flowing portions of the ice sheet, could lead to a feedback loop that accelerates ice loss from the glacier, which ultimately raises sea levels. Greenland's ice melt has added 0.4 inches to sea levels since 1992 and is estimated to add another foot by the end of the century.
Greenland ice cracks are widening, potentially speeding the rise of global sea levels
Crevasses can reach over 300 feet in width, thousands of feet in length, and hundreds of feet in depth. Research led by glaciologist Thomas Chudley from
Greenland’s Ice Sheet is Fracturing Faster Than Ever: A Warning for Rising Seas
The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open at an accelerating pace, with crevasses growing larger and deeper due to the effects of climate change. A new study using high-resolution 3D mapping has reveal
Scientists blame climate change as world’s second largest ice sheet cracks open faster than before
Experts warn that sea levels could rise by seven metres and cause mass destruction if the ice sheet was to melt
Greenland Ice Sheet cracking more amid climate change, new study reveals
