2010 Spike in Greenland Ice Loss Lifted Bedrock, Implying "We’ll Experience Pulses of Extra Sea Level Rise” | ThinkProgress

2010 Spike in Greenland Ice Loss Lifted Bedrock, Implying "We’ll Experience Pulses of Extra Sea Level Rise” | ThinkProgress:
Ohio State University News Release
"An unusually hot melting season in 2010 accelerated ice loss in southern Greenland by 100 billion tons – and large portions of the island’s bedrock rose an additional quarter of an inch in response.
That’s the finding from a network of nearly 50 GPS stations planted along the Greenland coast to measure the bedrock’s natural response to the ever-diminishing weight of ice above it."
