Daily ice loss in Greenland tracked by new GPS method

Paris, France (SPX) May 16, 2024

When the ice sheet in Greenland melts, the bedrock beneath moves slightly. This occurs because the pressure from the ice above decreases, causing the land beneath to rise. This elevation change can be measured and translated into how much ice disappears from Greenland's ice sheet and how fast it's happening. Researchers at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) have developed a method based o
