Attention will continue to be focused on these rapid responders to climate change; marine terminating glaciers in Greenland and ice shelves in Antarctica. (realclimate.org)
The land terminating glaciers such as Sukkertoppen, Russell and Mittivakkat are retreating significantly in response to global warming. (skepticalscience.com)
The next year, Rignot and Mouginot published another comprehensive, high - resolution map of Greenland based in radar interferometry data from 2008 and 2009 showing that Greenland's 100 fastest glaciers drain 66 percent of the ice sheet area, and marine - terminating glaciers drain 88 percent of the ice sheet area (Rignot and Mouginot 2012).
