While the International Year of Glaciers' Preservation comes to an end, a study finds buoyant meltwater plumes from Greenland's most active glacier boost summer primary production by up to 40%.
This lifts annual CO₂ uptake by only about 3%, as warmer upwelled waters hold less gas. #IYGP2025

Glaciers don't erode simply where ice moves fastest.
A survey found precipitation and elevation or length are major factors. Most glaciers remove less than 3mm of rock per year, totalling ~23 gigatonnes globally.
