Greenland's glaciers disappearing from the bottom up - environment - 14 February 2010 - New Scientist

Greenland's glaciers disappearing from the bottom up - environment - 14 February 2010 - New Scientist: "Water warmed by climate change is taking giant bites out of the underbellies of Greenland's glaciers. As much as 75 per cent of the ice lost by the glaciers is melted by ocean warmth. 'There's an entrenched view in the public community that glaciers only lose ice when icebergs calve off,' says Eric Rignot at the University of California, Irvine. 'Our study shows that what's happening beneath the water is just as important.'"
