Greenland Ice sheet Melt Accelerating
By: Rowan Wolf
According to a report in the August 11, 2006 BBC, the Greenland ice sheet is "speeding up." Using a calculation that measures earth's gravity and mass, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have determined that the ice sheet is now melting three times faster than reported earlier. The melt is now estimated at 57.3 cubic miles per year.
