Satellite data and 100-year-old images reveal quickening retreat of Greenland's glaciers
Using a combination of historical aerial photographs and satellite imagery of Greenland, scientists have analyzed the movement of more than 1,000 peripheral glaciers from 1890 to 2022. They've discovered the rate of retreat for these peripheral glaciers has doubled in the last 20 years.
