Greenland's glaciers melting three times faster than in the 20th century, alarm bell for the world
Greenland's glaciers are now melting three times faster than in the 20th century, according to a study, causing global sea level rise. It will also affect humans.

There has been a massive loss of glaciers and ice caps in Greenland, which is three times faster than in the 20th century. This alarming thing has come to the fore in a study. The research provides important insights into long-term changes in the country's glaciers and ice caps due to climate change, which has contributed to nearly a fifth of global sea level rise over the past decade.
Mapping 5,327 Glaciers and Ice Caps
Using historical data, scientists mapped 5,327 glaciers and ice caps that existed at the end of the Little Ice Age in 1900. The average global temperature dropped by up to two degrees Celsius during a period of widespread cooling. He was then able to publish these pieces in 5,467 by 2001.
Study published in Geophysical Research Letters
The study is published in Geophysical Research Letters. The researchers said it is estimated that the rate at which glacier water melted between 2000 and 2019 is three times the long-term average since 1900.
'The amount of melting ice will be more than forecast'
Dr Claire Boston, from the School of Environment, Geography and Geology at the University of Portsmouth, said it is important to note that we only looked at glaciers and icecaps that were at least one km in area. So the total amount of ice that will melt will be higher than our forecasts.
Humans will also be affected
Lead author Dr. Jonathan L. from the School of Geography, University of Leeds. Cariwick said the effects of meltwater runoff from Greenland into the North Atlantic go beyond global sea level rise, affecting North Atlantic Ocean circulation, European climate patterns, and water quality and marine ecosystems in the Greenlandic fjord. Is. It also has a great effect on humans. Major changes in these glaciers have a direct impact on the economic activities of fishing, mining and hydropower. People's health is also affected.
