Greenland ice sheet

基本解释

A 2009 study found that the Greenland ice sheet shed roughly 385 cubic miles of ice over the previous seven years.
2009年的一項研究發現，此前七年間格陵蘭冰蓋差不多融掉了385立方英裡。
The Greenland ice sheet has survived natural warmer periods in history, the last about 120, 000 years ago, although it was much smaller then than it is now.
格陵蘭冰蓋在歷史上經歷過多個自然溫煖時期（最後一次是約120,000年以前）依然幸存，盡琯那時它比現在小得多。
The new study showed ice sheets like the Greenland Ice Sheet can respond to such warming on the order of decades rather than the centuries projected by conventional thermal models.
這項新的研究顯示，像格陵蘭冰蓋這樣的冰層對這種變煖趨勢的反應在幾十年內就會顯現，而非傳統的熱模型所預測的那樣百年後才會出現。

Arctic glaciers—including the Greenland ice sheet—are melting and disintegrating faster than expected.
ECONOMIST: Climate change
The conclusion, combining data and models, was that the Greenland ice sheet is relatively stable in the centre, but thinning slowly at the edges.
ECONOMIST: Climate change (II)
Simons and his colleague Christopher Haig directed particular attention to the Greenland ice sheet, noting that the Antarctic ice cap is actually getting bigger.
