NASA study links Greenland melt to rising sea levels
NASA researchers using aerial laser surveys report Greenland loses more than 50 billion tons of ice yearly, contributing to about 9 inches of global sea level rise over a century and heightening coastal flood risk. The study, in Science, notes 11 cubic miles of ice vanish annually, equating to 1.25 trillion gallons and a 0.005 inch annual sea level rise.
