Fighting Global Sea Level Rise in Greenland: In Search of Sustainable Co-design with Locals

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › General public

Abstract

The melting of the Greenland ice sheet has the potential to increase global sea levels by tens of centimeters during this century. The exact amount depends on the surface melting which increases with global warming, and on the calving of icebergs where huge glaciers drain the interior icesheet.
