A new scientific study finds that Greenland and Iceland have shed an estimated 11.3 trillion tonnes of ice over the past five decades, underscoring the accelerating pace of melt in the North Atlantic region. Climate scientist Paul Beckwith highlighted the findings, which feed into broader concern about sea-level rise, disrupted ocean circulation and changing weather patterns linked to polar ice loss.
Why now: Fresh research quantifying five decades of ice loss has drawn attention because of its implications for sea-level rise and ocean systems.
