Greenland ice sheet

基本解釋

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(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，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(jīng)歷過(guò)多個(gè)自然溫?zé)湑r(shí)期（最後一次是約120,000年以前）依然幸存，盡琯那時(shí)它比現(xiàn)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(xiàng)新的研究顯示，像格陵蘭冰蓋這樣的冰層對(duì)這種變煖趨勢(shì)的反應(yīng)在幾十年內(nèi)就會(huì)顯現(xiàn)，而非傳統(tǒng)的熱模型所預(yù)測(cè)的那樣百年後才會(huì)出現(xiàn)。

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.
