glaciers, Greenland ice sheet and Algae

How Algae Can Accelerate Greenland Glacier Melt
Most people probably think of glaciers as massive blocks of white ice. But many glaciers have dark patches because of the growth of algae, which can... | Earth And The Environment
How glacier ice algae accelerate Greenland ice sheet melting
Cutting-edge study reveals dark-pigmented microalgae's efficient nutrient uptake on Greenland ice sheet, intensifying melting and sea-level rise.
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.
Greenland’s glaciers are melting faster than anyone expected - study
"For the first time, we are able to see significant increases in the size and depth of crevasses at fast-flowing glaciers at the edges of the Greenland Ice Sheet," said Dr. Tom Chudley.
World's glaciers melting faster than ever recorded
The world's glaciers are melting faster than ever recorded under the impact of climate change, according to the most comprehensive scientific analysis to date. Mountain glaciers - frozen rivers of ice – act as a freshwater resource for millions of people worldwide and lock up enough water to raise global sea-levels by 32cm (13in) if they melted entirely.
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.
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.
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 World’s Glaciers Are Melting Faster Than Anticipated — Raising Sea Levels
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses a new Nature study revealing that glaciers are melting faster than anticipated. This accelerated ice loss is driving up sea levels,
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.
Resilient algae darken glacier surface and may speed up Greenland ice melt, study finds
Glaciers are huge white ice masses that can reflect a lot of sunlight. However, especially where the glaciers are not covered ...
Greenland’s coveted resources could be more dangerous and expensive to extract with climate change. Here’s why
That’s imprudent, because the Arctic’s climate is changing more rapidly than anywhere on Earth. Such rapid warming further ...
Climate change shrinking glaciers faster than ever; 7 trillion tons lost since 2000
The world's glaciers lost ice at the rate of about 255 billion tons (231 billion metric tons) annual from 2000 to 2011, but ...

Algae may speed up Greenland ice melt
The tiny ice inhabitants darken the glacier surface and can thus accelerate its melting.
