Glaciers, Greenland Ice Sheet

Glacier ice melting continues to accelerate, causing huge global problems
Glaciers are melting rapidly, reducing ice and freshwater supplies, increasing sea levels, and threatening global water security.
The Great Glacier Meltdown Uncovered – 273 Billion Tonnes of Ice Lost Annually
Glaciers are losing ice at an accelerating rate, threatening global sea levels and freshwater supplies. A massive international effort has tracked this loss over two decades, revealing that glaciers lost 273 billion tonnes of ice per year on average,
The rate of glacier melt globally is accelerating, study shows
A University of Arizona researcher co-authored the study that found the rate in which glaciers are melting and contributing to sea-level rise.
Climate change is shrinking glaciers faster than ever, with 7 trillion tons lost since 2000
Climate change is accelerating the melting of the world's mountain glaciers, according to a massive new study that found them shrinking more than twice as fast as in the early 2000s. The world's glaciers lost ice at the rate of about 255 billion tons (231 billion metric tons) annual from 2000 to 2011,
Global glacier melt is accelerating, scientists say
Ice loss from the world's glaciers has accelerated over the past decade, scientists said on Wednesday, warning that melting may be faster than previously expected in the coming years and drive sea levels higher.
Glaciers melting much faster than expected, scientists warn
Leading scientists are warning that the world's glaciers are melting at an unprecedented rate far faster than had ever previously been anticipated.
