Climate Central: Stability in the rapidly changing Arctic is a rarity. Yet for years researchers believed the glaciers in the frigid northeast section of Greenland, which connect to the interior of the country's massive ice sheet, were resilient to the effects of climate change that have affected so much of the Arctic. But new data published Sunday in Nature Climate Change reveals that over the past decade, the region has started rapidly losing ice due to a rise in air and ocean temperatures caused in part by...

Fears of faster rising global sea levels as 'stable' Greenland ice sheet starts to melt
2014-03-16 19:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: Global sea levels may rise faster than anticipated due to a rapid melting of the north-east corner of the Greenland ice sheet, according to scientists. This was widely considered to be cold and stable. Satellite measurements have shown that this part of Greenland, which covers 16 per cent of the ice sheet, has now begun to melt after many years of stability the reason why this area was left out of computer models predicting future global sea-level rise. Regional warming in north-east Greenland...
