Greenland Ice Sheet: Increased coastal thinning

Repeated laser‐altimeter surveys and modelled snowfall/summer melt show average ice loss from Greenland between 1997 and 2003 was 80 ± 12 km 3 yr −1 , compared to about 60 km 3 yr −1 for 1993/4–1998/9. Half of the increase was from higher summer melting, with the rest caused by velocities of some gl... View More
