Greenland’s ice sheet holds enough water to raise global sea levels by over 7 meters, but predicting how much it will actually shrink remains challenging due to the massive computational cost of traditional models. Our latest research introduces machine learning-based downscaling that generates high-resolution climate fields orders of magnitude faster than conventional regional climate models. …[Read More]

Image of the Week – A high-resolution picture of Greenland’s surface mass balance
The Greenland ice sheet – the world’s second largest ice mass – stores about one tenth of the Earth’s freshwater. If totally melted, this would rise global sea level by 7.4 m, affecting low-lying regions worldwide. Since the 1990s, the warmer atmosphere and ocean have increased the melt at the surface of the Greenland ice …[Read More]
