Greenland's accelerating ice loss poses a direct threat to global sea levels, contributing significantly to the ongoing climate crisis, undermining international climate agreements like the Paris Accord.
Every year, Greenland loses approximately 270 billion tons of ice—this alarming rate not only contributes to rising sea levels but also serves as a stark indicator of climate change's immediate impacts.
Recent studies reveal that roughly half of Greenland's ice loss is attributed to surface melting, while the rest is due to ice calving, making it critical to monitor these processes.
Our mission to Greenland, supported by experts like Paolo Colosio and journalist Elizabeth Kolbert, emphasizes the urgent need to understand the dynamics of polar ice melt in the context of climate change.
