Скачать или смотреть Greenland Shrinks and Drifts Northwest: How Melting Ice is Reshaping the Island

Greenland climate change ice melting glaciers deformation GPS plate tectonics glacial isostatic adjustment
Discover how Greenland is twisting and changing shape due to massive ice loss and geological forces. Scientists from DTU tracked 20 years of GPS data showing the landmass drifting northwest at 2 cm per year, expanding in some areas and contracting in others.
Learn about the three main factors: plate tectonics, bedrock rebound from melting glaciers, and long-term effects from the last Ice Age. This deformation impacts navigation in an ice-free Arctic and could awaken volcanoes or increase methane emissions.
Explore the latest research published in Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, and understand why accurate measurements are crucial for future climate models. Stay updated on how Earth's polar regions are responding to global warming.
