GREENLAND IS LOSING CONTINENTAL ICE AT A RAPID PACE

Greenland is losing continental ice at an accelerated pace, more so in the SE. This figure is an update from Velicogna and Wahr (2006). See also Luthcke et al (2006); Chen et al (2006), and Hall et al (2008) , who reach the same conclusions, based on a combination of GRACE and other data.

The figure below, courtesy of I. Velicogna, shows an update to the time series up to mid 2008, and using the latest reprocessing of the GRACE
data.
