Daily monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet is back! Find these two maps on our Ice Sheets Today page: the Greenland daily melt map and the Greenland cumulative melt days map. Analyses about conditions on the Greenland Ice Sheet will return soon as well. nsidc.org/ice-sheets-today pic.twitter.com/Yeq7IsUhFP

There are 2 broad categories of glaciers: alpine glaciers and ice sheets. Alpine glaciers are frozen rivers of ice, slowly flowing under their own weight down mountainsides and into valleys. Ice sheets cover entire continents. nsidc.org/learn/parts-cryosphere/glaciers

2 years (2022 and 2023) = 10% glacier LOSS in the Alps! 🥵📈 O.N.L.Y. T.W.O. Y.E.A.R.S!😱 @CopernicusECMWF just released its European State Of The Climate report Check it out 👉climate.copernicus.eu/esotc/2023/snow-and-glaciers?utm_source=socialmedia&utm_medium=tw&utm_id=esotc-2023 pic.twitter.com/uphMFocaPu

🚨New ice dynamics study! 🚨 Ice flow is changing >100 km inland on the Greenland ice sheet, with acceleration of ~10% and mega-crevasses emerging in recent decades. article: www.nature.com/articles/s43247-024-01322-w news: eng.geus.dk/about/news/news-archive/2024/april/no-rest-for-the-ice by Anja Løkkegaard in @CommsEarth pic.twitter.com/7QJw3zJh9C
