  • Global Ice Loss From '03 to '10 Was Enough to Cover the U.S. in 1.5 Feet of Water Global Ice Loss From '03 to '10 Was Enough to Cover the U.S. in 1.5 Feet of Water
    Using NASA and the German Aerospace Center's Gravity Recover and Climate Experiment satellites (GRACE), researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder have discovered that the Earth's ice caps and glaciers lost a mammoth amount of water between 2003 and 2010. The group used NASA's data to research global ice loss from Greenland, Antarctica, glaciers, and ice caps and deduced that the total loss was <strong>4.3 trillion tons</strong> (or 1,000 cubic miles) of ice -- that's about eight times the water volume of Lake Erie and enough to make a 1....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/study-finds-global-ice-loss-in-recent-years-was-enough-to-cover-the-u-s-in-1-5-feet-of-water/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
