Sea Level Rise

Enjoy a deep dive into sea level rise research as NASA scientists and their colleagues discuss their research on and around the Greenland Ice Sheet. This is a condensed and edited version of a program originally broadacast on Aug. 28, 2015.

A reel of helicopter footage taken in July of 2015 over Greenland including a transit from Kangerlussuaq, Greenland to a field camp on the ice sheet, operated by UCLA's Larry Smith footage over the Ilulissat IceFjord and nearby glaciers. ||

Views of Greenlandic scenery from Kangerlussuaq, the terminous of the Russell Glacier, and the Ilulissat region. ||

Various scenes of water melting from the Greenland Ice Sheet on its way to the sea. ||

NASA, the National Science Foundation, and universities support a variety of field research in Greenland. || UCLA's Larry Smith, Vena Chu from UC Berkeley and other reserachers conduct work in the ablation, or melt zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The work included the deployment of floating sensors, conducting 72 continuous hours of melt water profiles, and ice mapping using fixed-wing drones. || Grace Andrews and her colleague sample melt water originating from the Russell Glacier as part of a study on C02 evasion led by Andrew Jacobson from Northwestern University. ||

Iceberg footage in Disko Bay near Ilulissat, Greenland filmed in July, 2015. ||

For more IceBridge videos NASA’s Operation IceBridge has wrapped up its 2015 Arctic field campaign after covering a vast expanse of science targets during 33 different flights over land ice, sea ice, and glaciers. The airborne campaign flies over the Arctic and Antarctic every year measuring changes in the ice with instruments like radar and lasers.
