Title Melting Greenland Growing Darker Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Science magazine Media type Web Duration/Length/Size 1 pag Date 20/08/12 Description Last month, an unusually warm weather system swept across Greenland, triggering a widespread melting of surface ice and snow that typically occurs only once in a lifetime. Such extensive melting is exceedingly rare, but it could exacerbate a trend noted in a new study: Since 2000, increasing amounts of surface melting have been darkening the lower-elevation portions of Greenland’s ice sheet, setting the stage for more frequent melting in the future.
