Approaching the Collapse Threshold: Extreme Melting and Instability Measured in NE Greenland Glacier

Ғылым және технология

A significant study on the so-called 79NG (79 degrees latitude North Greenland) coastal glacier was just released, in an open source peer-reviewed paper.
General news-release article: phys.org/news/2024-03-enormou...
Peer-reviewed scientific paper article:
tc.copernicus.org/articles/18...
Ground based on-ice measurements, airborne survey measurements, and satellite measurements are verified against each other, and show how fast this 79NG glacier is thinning, moving, and melting.
This glacier is quickly withering away due to the onslaught of extremely high air temperatures melting the surface of the glacier creating numerous glacial lakes on the surface, which are drilling through the ice draining the water to the bedrock below and into the ocean.
Just as significant for the ice melt, the warming oceans below are greatly accelerating the basal ice melt (ice at the bottom of the floating parts of the glacier in contact with ocean water). In fact, near the center line longitudinal cross section of the ice, a 500 meter high cavity has been melted into the bottom of the glacier, and this cavity of upside down crevice has come to within 190 meter of the glacier surface.
When it penetrates through the surface, the glacier will likely cleave into two parts, and what often happens is the whole thing shatters into a multitude of smaller pieces that quickly cascade out into the ocean and quickly melt out.
Overall, the thickness of the glacier has decreased by 160 meters, but that is outside of the 500 meter cavity region, but it seems to me that the ice over the cavity region is by far the weakest spot or Achilles Heel of the whole thing.
Not good…
What do with expect, with fossil fuel production at record highs, and at record acceleration rates?
We need to expect chaos.

Blue Ocean Event, Thwaites Glacier collapse, the change of our northern jet stream from a belt to a wave all show there is a buttermilk sky seen thru-out our planet. I have seen another, the 7 day week has changed to a 5 day week, I speak of the reason why a week and its timeline was made in the first place. Our weather pattern has changed from what it was. Nothing new and am sure you have seen it, but those who just walk around and do not see climate change are blind of events and trapped in the rat-race corporate world.

    That's because the majority of ice that's disappeared so far is sea ice. It's already in the water. It's when the land ice becomes noticeably diminished that you'll begin to see the rise. But what has entered the ocean (whether sea ice or land ice) is already affecting the Gulf Stream by slowing it's momentum. And the Gulf Stream is what moves the very warm water from the equatorial oceans to northern oceans. If that slows too much, tropical areas become too hot to live in and northern climates get much colder and inhibit food production. As it is, insurers are abandoning coverage of properties in Florida because of the regular flooding and hurricanes that have become more frequent. The change is happening, it's just slow(er) in the beginning.@@Michael-xz1hk

    Thx Paul for taking the time to run through these scientific papers I feel your presentation would be more impactful if you gave a more pointed considered succinct retrospective analysis rather than the running commentary which appears a little rambling and random I would also suggest that from an overall climate crisis perspective a more contextual emphasis is placed on the significance of the data e.g. how will all this freshwater from the melting ice affect the saltwater density influencing the gulfstream and AMOC circulation?...what kind of timeframes are we looking at before there is enough coastal Greenland sea ice melt to cause a +ive feedback loop(s)? ....if/when the ocean circulation system slows how is it possible to get extensive ice sheets forming in northern climes with so much atmospheric and massive ocean accelerating warming? IMO it is the significance drawn from the data relative to the whole system that is as important as the data itself Without your applied knowledge and wisdom you might be unfairly accused of being an unappreciated messenger of bad news ...thx again

    It's important to remember that some regions are already suffering massively from the current level of warming- 1.4°C or so. We in the historically colonialist nations have (so far) been shielded from the consequences due largely to our wealth. Money can only do you so much good past a certain point though. My 2¢: The biggest threats to societal stability are our food supply and shrinking habitable zones. Risks to global food supply increase significantly once we get to around 2°C of warming. That level of warming also corresponds to a large expansion of the areas that are no longer fit for human survival. If James Hansen is right in his projections, we will reach 2°C by 2040 (he said 2038). That means we MIGHT have ~10 years of relative normalcy left in the "developed" world. If we are lucky, imo.

First, tremendous suffering for the disenfranchised and most vulnerable, Sudan, Occupied Palestine, Haiti, Somalia, and others. The ability to generate a consensus to address, resolve Overshoot globally is already gone. A good argument can be made that Collapse has been occurring already for some time. As “social compacts” are increasingly broken and abandoned, and environmental degradation, including climate change are compounding in a nonlinear rate, the ability to organize in a meaningful way disappears. Incremental efforts to mitigate climate change are token and mere window dressing to keep various populations placated and maintain a semblance of “business as usual”, to maintain the privilege and comfort of the affluent and powerful few.

    There has been a huge change in the scientific community now regarding Global temperature increase. Previously , scientists were concerned about the rise in ocean levels because of the melting of the polar ice caps. But now they have realized that this melt water will be evaporated by the increasingly warmer air. They believe that now, those changing air current patterns because of temperature increase ,will transport this moisture laden air and precipitate it over northern Africa's desert areas enabling them to green up with vegetation. This will reverse desertification and will eventually lead to cooler global temperatures perhaps by the start of the next century.

If you're near a waters edge, might think of moving to higher ground, further away. Other than that, consider storing drinking water and keeping it for future "emergencies". Store non-perishable foods. Think what would you do without electricity for a few days, a few weeks, maybe forever. You can plan ahead without panicking. Life on earth changes. We can try to adapt.

    The Ninth Wave is an 1850 painting by Russian-Armenian marine painter Ivan Aivazovsky. The title refers to an old sailing expression referring to a wave of incredible size that comes after a succession of incrementally larger waves. It depicts a sea after a night storm and people facing death who are attempting to save themselves by clinging to debris from a wrecked ship. The debris, in the shape of the cross, appears to be a Christian metaphor for salvation from the earthly sin. The painting has warm tones, which reduce the sea's apparent menacing overtones and a chance for the people to survive seems plausible. This painting shows both the destructiveness and beauty of nature. Christian or not, we should not fear the power of Nature, or our lack of ultimate control over it. This is a painting where great beauty and great destruction embrace, as they do in real life as opposed to the life humans create artificially. More prosaically, my point is one expressed by systems analyst Dennis Meadows and others - that in the end, there is no solution other than a "Ninth Wave". So there is no need to get in a flap about it. Many thanks to Paul Beckwith for keeping us informed in a calm way (which would suggest that either he is very good at keeping a lid on it, or he takes a similar view to Meadows on the long-term outcomes of Climate Change - i.e. they could be salutary, in a roundabout way, for all species including humans).

    Any more Vertical Atmospheric River Rapids? 😬 it's going to go ... faster .... and then all at once 😳The other unexpected effect of icesheet loss is the rise in the land. After millennia of megatons of ice compressing the ground, sudden loss has caused the land to spring up, so to speak. It won't help sea level rise, but it is interesting. Where we live the weather patterns have changed drastically, but in our favor ... if it stays like this, which it won't. 😄 but, seriously, we must prepare for the worst and quit hoping for better. People living in coastal areas must start moving inland. Islanders have the biggest problem of all. We should help with whatever will help them keep their homes if possible or relocate if that's what they want. 🥺 i'm very sad for those caught in extreme weather events. I'll help any way that I can.

    In the 1970, I experienced -84F on Banks Island, NWT. Despite the extreme cold, I thought it was one of the most amazingly beautiful places on earth. Banks Island at that time was reeling from the assault on it’s wildlife by invading Europeans. The caribou were nearly wiped out by prospectors with guns so, against biologists advice, they dropped poison baits all over to kill the wolves to protect the remaining caribou. When they killed the wolves, there was no longer predators to remove sick and diseased animal so the rest of the caribou were nearly all killed by epidemics. The time I was there, there was a slow recovery happening. This abruptly ended when in the early 2000s, there was the first ever in history rain on snow event that covered the entire island in a thick layer of ice. The animals, caribou and musk ox could not get through the ice to get at the moss and lichen they lived on so they all starved then all the wolves starved. Banks Island is nearly devoid of life now. This is what the modern world and climate change is doing to the Arctic.

    We could replace fossil fuels with water splitting technologies. I have asked questions about a system for a reaction, as the electrolysis reaction takes more energy than it produces. There is a nano particles method that will make a liquid-phase non idea plasma. This is a negative refractive index metamaterials Bismuth ferrite and a secondary gold/silicon nano tubes. With a weak infrared wave absorbed and refraction by the Bismuth ferrite and the production o plasmons from the gold, a liquid-phase non ideal plasma energy.

    The climate crisis can still be averted if efforts are increased. The economic and ecological return on green energy is huge. Every dollar spent on preventing or slowing climate change saves us dozens of dollars in future damages, plus allows us to keep growing for millenia to come. Fossil fuels will run out eventually, but the sun will shine for billion of years, causing water to flow and wind to blow
