To narrow our predictions of global sea level rise, we need to know more about these sudden ‘non-linear’ changes to ice sheets.
Scientists now have a better understanding of the risks ahead and a new early warning signal to watch for.
Some of the world’s biggest glaciers flow into fjords in Greenland and we need to know what they’ll bump into on the seabed.
Knowing Greenland’s ice-free history offers a warning for the future as global temperatures rise.
Glaciologists are discovering new ways surface meltwater alters the internal structure of ice sheets, and raising an alarm that sea level rise could be much more abrupt than current models forecast.
To fully understand the extent of climate-related dangers the Arctic – and our planet – is facing, we must focus on organisms too small to be seen with the naked eye.
The annual report is also a reminder that what happens in the Arctic affects the rest of the world.
The annual report describes the changes underway and the impact they’re having on people and wildlife. It’s also reminder that what happens in the Arctic affects the rest of the world.
A recent paper suggested damaging climate tipping points could be closer than first thought.
