PolyU and Global Team Harness Satellite Data to Decode Greenland Ice Sheet Melt
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Mar 01, 2025 Researchers from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), in collaboration with an international team of scientists, have leveraged advanced satellite positioning data to monitor the behavior of Greenland's ice sheet melt, offering critical insights into sea-level rise. By integrating various modern space geodetic techniques, the team successfully quantified seasonal water storage within the ice sheet and its impact on bedrock subsidence. Their findings, recently published in Nature, contribute to ... read more |

Arctic sea ice levels second lowest on record for January: US data
Paris (AFP) Feb 4, 2025 The sea ice in the Arctic was the second lowest on record for January last month, according to a US analysis released Tuesday, with areas around Greenland seeing temperatures well above average. Both the North and South Pole regions have warmed by some three degrees Celsius compared to late 19th-century levels, much faster than the global average. The US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said the Arctic sea ice surface area was at a record low in December and continued near record low ... read more
