Aerial shots of snow, ice Storyline Greenland and Antarctica together lost 11.3 trillion tons of ice between 1979 and 2023, pushing global sea levels up by over 3 cm, according to a study by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden. Drawing on data from 27 satellite missions, the research analyzes 42 independent surveys to map ice sheet losses comprehensively, including 23 surveys involving Greenland and 19 involving Antarctica. The research found that the rate of ice loss from the two major ice sheets has accelerated markedly over the past few decades. Greenland was close to balance in the 1970s -- when ice gains and losses were equal -- but its annual ice loss increased from around 60 billion tons in the 1980s to 264 billion tons in the 2010s. Researchers say the widespread melting of ice triggered by consistently above-average summer temperatures is a key factor behind the rising ice loss. Antarctica showed a similar pattern, as annual losses climbed from around 48 billion tons in the 1980s to 202 billion tons in the 2010s, with the most remarkable loss recorded in West Antarctica. The research findings were published in Scientific Data, an academic journal published by Nature Portfolio.
