• Description:
  The Greenland Ice Sheet total mass change for 1 September 2021 through mid-August 2022 was -146 ± 64 Gt, equivalent to ~0.4 mm of sea level rise and representing the 25th consecutive year of ice loss. Cold temperatures delayed summer ice loss, yet the ice sheet still experienced unprecedented melt events during 2022. During September 2022, the Greenland Ice Sheet experienced unprecedented late-season melt events, including surface melt conditions across 36% of the ice sheet surface on 3 September, including at Summit Station (3216 m above sea level in the ice sheet interior).
