NASA Finds Russian Runoff Freshening Canadian Arctic
Media teleconference to discuss new research results on the stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and its potential contribution to future sea level rise.
The mass of the Antarctic ice sheet has changed over the last several years.
The 2016 Arctic sea ice minimum extent is effectively tied with 2007 for the second lowest yearly minimum in the satellite record.
The year 2014 now ranks as the warmest on record since 1880, according to an analysis by NASA scientists.
The Arctic is approaching its annual minimum sea ice extent (i.e., the total area covered by at least 15 percent of ice).
New research on Antarctica, including the first map of iceberg calving, doubles the previous estimates of loss from ice shelves and details how the continent is changing.
Seas around the world have risen an average of nearly 3 inches since 1992, with some locations rising more than 9 inches due to natural variation, according to the latest satellite measurements from NASA and its partners.
