The melting of ice sheets and glaciers has significantly increased in recent decades and when certain thresholds are crossed, these melting mechanisms can reinforce themselves, accelerating this ...

As the ice on Greenland retreats today, it's causing the sea level nearby to fall, rather than rise. Only as far as Scotland, some 1,500 miles from Greenland, does this sea level fall switch to a ...
