Lakes forming next to Greenland's melting ice sheet are speeding up glacier flow

A growing network of #meltwater lakes at the edge of the #Greenland ice sheet is #accelerating the flow of major #glaciers, potentially increasing the pace of global #SeaLevelRise. Warmer air and sea temperatures have led to the loss of around 264 gigatons of ice every year in Greenland since 2002, causing sea levels to rise by 0.8 millimeters annually. But a new study by the University of Leeds examining glacier behavior across the entire ice sheet has highlighted a lesser-known feature that is amplifying this mass loss—the freshwater lakes forming as the ice retreats.
