Climate Change-Driven Ice Sheet Melt Causes Land Uplift of Greenland Bedrock [Study]

Ice sheet melt has been a significant problem due to the potential impact on ecosystems, biodiversity and low-lying communities due to the sea-level rise. However, the latest research found that climate change and ice sheet melting could cause the land uplift of Greenland bedrock.

Climate change can bring intensifying heat and extreme weather events. Rising temperatures can become disastrous to the ice sheet, which is vulnerable to decline. Melting can lead to rapid sea level rise that could threaten communities, or bring more flooding concerns.

Intense heat can also cause devastating effects on wildlife and sensitive animals. Polar bears and species in cold regions can be at risk of population decline due to climate change.

However, the latest report found that climate change could help to uplift the bedrock in Greenland. The research findings were published in the Geophysical Research Letters journal.

Climate Change-Driven Ice Sheet Melt Impacts

Researchers raised concerns about the ice loss in Greenland's bedrock due to climate change. Long-term effects can have widespread impacts on wildlife and people's safety. According to the report, the ice melt in the Greenland Ice sheet contributes to the sea-level rise problem.

In the latest report, the study discovered that Greenland's bedrock managed to rise in the region with noticeable elevation. Researchers claimed that the land rise could continue.

With the recent changes, it can likely affect the region's map. The research findings were measured by the Greenland's Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Network (GNET). On the region's coast, there is a network of 61 measurements that help the researchers.

The monitoring system can significantly contribute to discovering potential changes in the area and bedrock movement as Greenland shows signs of rapid rise.

As a result, the reduction of greenhouse gas could mitigate the climate change effects, and extreme weather events, including heatwaves and drought conditions.

More Facts About Greenland

According to recent reports, 80% of Greenland has been covered by ice with a large ice sheet. Due to extreme cold and dangerous road conditions, the Greenlandic Sled Dog helps communities travel around and transport goods.

When people looked around, they could most ice and a few trees. In terms of the Northern Lights, it is home to amazing views of the night sky.

Climate Change And Global Extreme Weather Events

In the recent NWN report, climate change can influence global extreme weather events, including droughts, rising temperatures, heat waves, and storms. Extreme weather could impact communities and habitats of many species.

For example, extreme drought could affect the food and water security of animals. Deadly wildfires are also possible.
