As global temperatures inch upwards year after year, the world's glaciers retreat. These rivers of ice and the even larger ice sheets which cover Greenland and Antarctica are melting—and the melt is speeding up.
Researchers track the rapid rise of new ecosystems as glaciers retreat and ice sheets melt retrieved 1 August 2024 from https://phys.org/news/2024-08-track-rapid-ecosystems-glaciers-retreat.html

Scientists track sea level rise from glaciers in Greenland and AntarcticaAs climate change advances, the vast bodies of ice on Antarctica and Greenland contribute significantly to sea level rise. To project their future effect on sea level rise, additional research is required to improve scientists' understanding of these masses of ice.

Recovery of unique geological samples sheds light on formation of today's Antarctic ice sheetIn recent years, global warming has left its mark on the Antarctic ice sheets. The 'eternal' ice in Antarctica is melting faster than previously assumed, particularly in West Antarctica more than East Antarctica. The root for this could lie in its formation, as an international research team led by the Alfred Wegener Institute has now discovered.
