Since the icecap is melting as the atmospheric levels of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide rise, and global temperatures rise with them, as a consequence of the human combustion of fossil fuels, the rate at which summer meltwater gets into the oceans becomes vital to climate calculations.

Dr Howat and his colleagues report in The Cryosphere that they measured a two kilometre - wide depression 70 metres deep in the icecap of southwest Greenland, which they then identified as «the first direct evidence for concentrated long - term storage and sudden release of meltwater at the bed».
