Earth's glaciers are melting much faster and contribute more to rising ocean levels than scientists first estimated, according to a new study.
Earth's glaciers are melting much faster than scientists thought. A new study shows they are losing 335 billion tonnes of snow and ice each year, more than half of that in North America.
The most comprehensive measurement of glaciers worldwide found that thousands of inland masses of snow compressed into ice are shrinking 18 per cent faster than an international panel of scientists calculated in 2013.
