Nine times more ice is melting annually due to warmer temperatures

Data are dramatically increasing knowledge of how the ocean is melting the ice sheet

Channels give warm ocean water access to their undersides, speeding glacier retreat

Study findings will help improve predictions about global sea level rise

New seafloor mapping techniques help scientists identify high-risk areas

Breakup of Zachariae Isstrom could substantially raise global sea levels

West Greenland's fjords are vastly deeper than rudimentary models have shown, allowing intruding ocean water to badly undercut glacier faces, which will raise sea levels around the world much faster than previously estimated, a UCI-led research team has found.

An expedition to Greenland with UCI glaciologists reveals ‘time bomb’ effects of global warming

A comprehensive, 21-year analysis of the fastest-melting region of Antarctica has found that the melt rate of glaciers there has tripled during the last decade.
