Ask NASA: Modeling the retreating Greenland Ice Sheet
Your browser does not support the video tag. Scientists at the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Geophysical Institute used data from NASA’s Operation IceBridge to develop a more accurate model of how the Greenland Ice Sheet might respond to climate change in the future, finding that it could generate more sea level rise than previously thought. In the next 50 years,… Read more →

Ask NASA: Ever heard of “Dirty” snow? Research suggests aerosols make snow melt faster
Your browser does not support the video tag. Tiny particles suspended in the air, known as aerosols, can darken snow and ice causing it to absorb more of the sun’s energy. But until recently, scientists rarely considered the effect of all three major types of light-absorbing aerosols together in climate models. In a new study, NASA scientists used a climate… Read more →
