WEBThe bottom graph shows the daily melt area for the Greenland Ice Sheet from April 1 through October 31, with 2021 shown in blue, 2020 in green line, and 2019 in orange. The grey areas show the average daily melt area for 1981 to 2010, the inter-quartile range, and the inter-decile range.
Greenland Ice Sheet - NOAA Arctic
WEBDuring the 2020-21 ice sheet balance year, spanning 1 September to 31 August, the total Greenland ice sheet mass change was -85 ± 16 Gt of ice as measured by the GRACE-FO satellite (Fig. 1). This is equivalent to ~0.2 mm of sea level rise, not including ongoing thermal expansion (IPCC 2021).
Greenland Ice Sheet - NOAA Arctic
WEBThe Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is the second-largest contributor of sea-level rise (SLR), after thermal expansion (Zemp et al. 2019). Ice mass loss from the GrIS affects environments and societies worldwide through coastal erosion, saltwater intrusion, habitat loss, increased flooding, and, in some locations, permanent inundation.

Greenland ice sheet - Wikipedia
WEBThe 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 ] It is almost 2,900 kilometres (1,800 mi) long in a north–south direction, with a maximum width of 1,100 kilometres (680 mi) at a latitude of 77°N ...
NASA SVS | Greenland Ice Mass Loss 2002-2023
WEBMar 8, 2024 · These images, created from GRACE and GRACE-FO data, show changes in Greenland ice mass since 2002. Orange and red shades indicate areas that lost ice mass, while light blue shades indicate areas that gained ice mass. White indicates areas where there has been very little or no change in ice mass since 2002.
