Even in winter, scientists found meltwater running off the Greenland ice sheet, according to a new @NASA_Ice funded study: cires.colorado.edu/news/gree…

Greenland Ice Sheet Meltwater Can Flow in Winter, Too

Findings underscore need for year-round investigations of Arctic hydrology

Maybe the first direct evidence of continuous wintertime residual meltwater drainage, thus confirming existence of a wet bed and live subglacial hydrological system year-round for at least some parts of the ice sheet. Nice work, @lincolnpitcher agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…

The loss from Greenland and Antarctica's ice sheets resulted in half an inch of global sea level rise between 2003-2019

Volcanic activity has shaped Greenland and Antarctica, but it's not to blame for today's rapidly melting polar ice sheets. Learn why. climate.nasa.gov/blog/2982/f…

The opposite. Each kg of CO2 released contributes to about 15 kg of ice melt from Mountain glaciers. Every minute, we emit enough CO2 to add another five gallons of water to the oceans through glacial ice melt. Burning fossil fuels raises sea levels. advances.sciencemag.org/cont…

We don’t think it’s a coincidence that the largest fossil fuel funder has the grandfather of climate denial at its helm. You can help give him the boot once and for all! #DumpLeeRaymond act.ucsusa.org/2ylNh5C

Question: How do we know what greenhouse gas and temperature levels were in the distant past? Answer: Ice cores (cylindrical ice samples) are scientists’ best source for historical climate data. Other tools include tree rings, corals and sediment cores. climate.nasa.gov/faq/20/how-…

Awesome to see two UCS climate scientists included on this #EarthDay list. Dr. @climategeek and Dr. Rachel Licker are both impressive science communicators - and are in good company! Lets heed their advice and continue to hold government accountable and prepare for the future.

When ice melts in Greenland, it can have significant effects in places far away, like Louisiana, where people live and work right at sea level. For nearly 3 decades, @NASA has been monitoring how our warming climate is raising sea levels. #EarthDayAtHome go.nasa.gov/2RULfR1

For years, NASA has used satellites🛰️ to study melting ice🧊 on our home planet🌍, and tracking how much that contributes to sea level rise 🌊 What questions do you have for our scientists studying Earth's changing glaciers and ice sheets? #AskNASA
