Aug 21, 2006 (New Scientist - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Greenland's glaciers lost about 220 cubic kilometres in 2005. Eric Rignot, of the California Institute of Technology, used satellite radar interferometry to observe the process and found that the rate of melting is higher each year. Greenland holds 10 per cent of the global ice mass. If its ice cap melted, global sea level would rise by 6.5 metres. Rignot's findings have been confirmed by a recent study conducted by Jianli Chen and colleagues at the University of Texas, US.
