NASA scans discover abandoned Cold War-era ‘secret city’ under Greenland's ice sheet; Here's what scientists expect next

An abandoned “city” from the Cold War has been discovered beneath the ice in a radar image captured by NASA scientists in Greenland. The deserted city belongs to Camp Century, a military installation constructed in 1959 after excavating a network of tunnels below the Greenland ice sheet's near-surface layer. Here's what researchers expect next with NASA discovery The goal of …

Greenland has lost more ice than previously thought: study

The Hindu

Climate change has caused Greenland’s ice sheet to lose 20% more ice than previously thought, according to research published Wednesday that used satellite imagery to track the retreat of glaciers over the past four decades. Previous studies have found that about 5,000 gigatons of ice has been lost from the surface of the Greenland ice sheet in the past two …

Hindustan Times

The Greenland Ice Sheet lost 5,091 sq km of area between 1985 and 2022, according to a study in the journal Nature published on Wednesday, the first full ice-sheet wide estimate of area loss on that scale. It suggests previous estimates of changes to the Greenland Ice Sheet's mass balance - how much snow and ice is accumulated each year …

Greenland glaciers melt five times faster than 20 years ago

The Hindu

Global warming has increased the speed at which glaciers in Greenland are melting by fivefold over the last 20 years, scientists from the University of Copenhagen said on Friday. Greenland's ice melt is of particular concern, as the ancient ice sheet holds enough water to raise sea levels by at least 20 feet if it were to melt away entirely. …

'Bad news': Unexpected melting of Greenland glacier could double sea-level rise projections

Raw Story

A glacier in the north of Greenland is melting faster and in a different way than scientists previously thought, and this has troubling implications for the future speed of global sea-level rise. The Petermann Glacier is a massive glacier in Northwest Greenland that contains enough ice to raise sea levels by a little more than a foot, the study authors …
