Caption

Comparison of the simulated thickness of the Greenland ice sheet at the beginning (a) and end (b) of one of the simulations for the unabated warming pathway (MIROC5/RCP8.5, ice loss 1.62 meters SLE). The melting and retreat of the Greenland ice sheet occurs in all regions from the far north to the south (Ralf Greve, Christopher Chambers, Journal of Glaciology, March 14, 2022).
