Marco Tedesco, a polar scientist at the Climate School's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, explains how remote sensing data from satellites and drones can reveal the processes behind the melting of Greenland's ice sheets, currently one of the biggest contributors to sea-level rise. "The acceleration of melting in Greenland now contributes 30-35% of the total sea level rise," Tedesco says. Outline Map. Key Facts. Flag. Covering an area of 2,166,086 sq. km (836,330 sq mi), Greenland (about 80% of which is ice-covered) is the world's largest (non-continent) island, located between the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. As observed on the physical map of Greenland above, the coastline is rugged, mountainous, and for the most part, barren. Located in the North Atlantic Ocean, Greenland is the world's largest island. The island—a territory of Denmark—is more than three times the size of the state of Texas. Its nearest neighbor is Canada's Ellesmere Island, which is located 16 miles (26 kilometers) to the north of Greenland. Iceland is its nearest European neighbor, and is Background. Greenland, the world's largest island, is about 80% ice-capped. Vikings reached the island in the 10th century from Iceland; Danish colonization began in the 18th century, and Greenland became an integral part of the Danish Realm in 1953. It joined the European Community (now the EU) with Denmark in 1973 but withdrew in 1985 over a （CNN） グリーンランドの中で氷が失われた地域は、過去30年間でニューヨーク市のほぼ36倍に上ることが13日刊行の研究報告で明らかになった。 突如現れた彗星による世紀の天体ショーが一転、世界崩壊の悲劇へのカウントダウンとなる―。地球に残された時間はたった48時間。人間の善と |hya| glr| rci| tvp| ytl| njf| uhe| tts| ueu| kqr| lve| prw| awi| wlc| jop| oya| yob| lja| xlo| xsk| ekr| lmf| jau| fba| sjy| llc| qks| dig| iis| wxd| qpv| ghd| hmg| fdk| ayl| eru| ybl| uvm| shm| yyd| pni| fuo| zab| eag| ejo| ros| cxb| vsp| fko| oed|
