Greenland ice sheet

基本解释

A 2009 study found that the Greenland ice sheet shed roughly 385 cubic miles of ice over the previous seven years.
2009年的一项研究发现，此前七年间格陵兰冰盖差不多融掉了385立方英里。
The Greenland ice sheet has survived natural warmer periods in history, the last about 120, 000 years ago, although it was much smaller then than it is now.
格陵兰冰盖在历史上经历过多个自然温暖时期（最后一次是约120,000年以前）依然幸存，尽管那时它比现在小得多。
The new study showed ice sheets like the Greenland Ice Sheet can respond to such warming on the order of decades rather than the centuries projected by conventional thermal models.
这项新的研究显示，像格陵兰冰盖这样的冰层对这种变暖趋势的反应在几十年内就会显现，而非传统的热模型所预测的那样百年后才会出现。

Arctic glaciers—including the Greenland ice sheet—are melting and disintegrating faster than expected.
ECONOMIST: Climate change
The conclusion, combining data and models, was that the Greenland ice sheet is relatively stable in the centre, but thinning slowly at the edges.

Simons and his colleague Christopher Haig directed particular attention to the Greenland ice sheet, noting that the Antarctic ice cap is actually getting bigger.
