Greenland Ice Sheet is melting from the top and bottom

Environmental News Network: New study shows that heat flow from the mantle contributes to the ice melt. The Greenland ice sheet is melting from below, caused by a high heat flow from the mantle into the lithosphere. This influence is very variable spatially and has its origin in an exceptionally thin lithosphere. Consequently, there is an increased heat flow from the mantle and a complex interplay between this geothermal heating and the Greenland ice sheet. The international research initiative IceGeoHeat led by the GFZ...
All Aboard the Ice Cream Train

There is nothing much more nostalgic than to take a train ride winding through fields of barley and canola and ending the trip with a 'free' homemade ice cream cone.
Greenland Ice Melting Due to Heat from Below, Study Finds

Nature World: High heat flow from the mantle to the lithosphere is increasing the rate of ice melt in Greenland. Researchers said that although the rate isn't high, this process must be considered during calculations of ice-loss in the region. Scientists from IceGeoHeat found the association between geothermal heating and Greenland ice sheet melting at an exceptionally thin lithosphere in Greenland. They said that coupling ice/climate models with those that explain the flow of heat in the region is a better...

Global warming, Arctic ice loss, and armchair scientists

Guardian: As humans put more and more heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere, the Earth's climate changes; we all know that. Some of the trickier questions are, how fast is it changing, what can we expect in the future, what are the costs of slowing emissions (compared to the costs of doing nothing), and what changes are we already observing that give us such confidence in our predictions? Perhaps the poster child of climate change is in the Arctic, where sea ice has been declining at an astonishing rate....
