Zombie Ice From Greenland Will Raise Sea Levels More Than 27Cm Study Finds

This is due to what could be called zombie ice. This is the doomed ice that, while still attached to thicker ice areas, is no longer being replenished by parent glaciers that are now receiving less snow. Without replenishment, the doomed ice melts from climate change and will inevitably raise seas, said study co-author William Colgan, a glaciologist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland.

“It’s dead ice. It’s just going to melt and disappear from the ice sheet,” Colgan said in an interview. “That ice has been sent to the ocean, regardless of the climate [emissions] the scenario we’re getting now.” The study’s lead author, Jason Box, a glaciologist at the Greenland Survey, said “it’s more like one foot in the grave.” The inevitable 27cm rise predicted in the study is more than twice as much sea level rise as scientists previously expected from the melting of the Greenland ice sheet. The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, said it could reach up to 78cm. In contrast, last year’s report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted a range of six to 13 centimeters for potential sea-level rise from melting Greenland ice by the year 2100.
