Bookmark or Share- Greenland Ice Sheet | Key Indicators – Global Sea Level ChangeData from NASA's GRACE and GRACE Follow-On satellites show that the land ice sheet in Greenland has been losing mass since 2002. The GRACE mission ended in June 2017. The GRACE Follow-On mission began collecting data in June 2018 and is continuing to monitor both ice sheets. This record includes new data-processing methods and is continually ...
- Ice Sheet Quick Facts | National Snow and Ice Data CenterThe Greenland Ice Sheet contains about 2.9 million cubic kilometers (0.7 million cubic miles) of ice. The ice sheet extends about 1.7 million square kilometers (656,000 square miles), covering 80 percent of the world’s largest island, and is equivalent to about three times the size of Texas.
- Greenland Ice Sheet - NOAA ArcticIce loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet has immediate and global influence on sea level rise, with impacts including coastal erosion, saltwater inundation of freshwater resources, and increased flooding frequency.
- Greenland ice sheet - WikipediaThe Greenland ice sheet is an ice sheet which forms the second largest body of ice in the world. It is an average of 1.67 km (1.0 mi) thick, and over 3 km (1.9 mi) thick at its maximum. [2]
- Greenland Ice Sheet - NOAA ArcticThe Greenland ice sheet covers ~1.63 million km 2 and contains ice equivalent to 7.4 m of eustatic sea level rise (Morlighem et al. 2017). Following decades of relative stability, the ice sheet has now lost mass almost every year since 1998, with tied years of record ice loss in 2012 and 2019 (Mankoff et al. 2021).
