According to a statement made by NASA, Greenland’s fastest melting ice mass, Jakobshavn Glacier, özgü been expanding for the last three years.
According to the information reported by the American National Aviation and Space Agency (NASA), the Jakobshavn Glacier, the world’s largest island, the fastest melting glacial mass in Greenland for the last two decades, özgü been expanding since 2016, despite the planet’s warming with global climate change.
According to NASA’s report, the Jakobshavn Glacier is expanding for the first time since the 1980s. The reason for the expansion is that the temperature of the water currents from the North Atlantic Ocean özgü decreased by 1.5 degrees Celsius since 2016. The tendency of the waters to cool allowed the glacier to expand again.
Using observations and data from the Greenland Ocean Melting (OMG) mission, NASA researchers found that the Jakobshavn Glacier expanded by 30 meters only between 2016 and 2017. According to the researchers, the North Atlantic currents are warming and cooling again with 20 years of shipment. Therefore, the expansion of the glacier in question does not indicate that global warming is slowing or receding.
