Accelerated Ice Melt Causing Iceland to Rise
2015-02-02 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Parts of Iceland are rising, and the culprit may be climate change. GPS measurements show that land in the central and southern parts of Iceland have been rising at a faster pace every year, beginning at about the same time as the onset of the ever-increasing melt of the island's eponymous ice due to rising temperatures, a new study finds. One of 62 GPS stations scattered around Iceland that have detected the land rising in response to glacier melt. Langjökull glacier is in the background....

Iceland is melting so fast, its literally popping off the planet

Quartz: Iceland is rising. Or, more precisely, the islands ice part is shrinking, causing the land part to rebound from the Earths crust--a process thats happening at a pace much faster than scientists had previously realised. In fact, its glaciers are melting so swiftly that parts of Iceland are rising as much as 1.4 inches (35mm) a year. Thats according to research just published (paywall) by a team led by scientists from the University of Arizona. The study is the first to directly link the...
Iceland Rises 1.4 inches year due to Climate Change

News Maine: A study has found that Iceland's region under ice has been shrinking at a faster rate due to climate change. It is causing a gradual rise in the level of the earth's crust. According to researchers associated with the study, the ice part of the region is rising as much as 1.4 inches every year, much faster than previously thought. The research was conducted by research teams from the University of Arizona and the University of Iceland. The detailed report with findings of the team has been published...
Iceland Rising as Climate Change Causes Glaciers to Melt, Researchers Say
2015-01-29 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: The crust under Iceland is rebounding as climate change melts the island's great ice caps, researchers report in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. The current rapid rising, or uplift, of the Icelandic crust is a result of accelerated melting of the island's glaciers and coincides with a regional warming trend that began roughly 30 years ago, the scientists said. Some areas in south-central Iceland are moving upward as much as 1.4 inches per year a surprisingly high speed, the researchers...
