Ice, Climate, and the Earth We Are Changing

Ice & Earth examines the science of how ice and climate interact — from ice sheet tipping points to glacial outburst floods, from warm oceans melting ice from below to the communities whose water futures depend on glaciers that are disappearing.

Ice Sheet Collapse: Understanding the Tipping Points That Could Reshape Our World

📅 April 20, 2025 · ⏱️ 12 min read · ✍️ Dr. Thomas Eriksen

The Greenland Ice Sheet may have a tipping point at 1.5-2°C of warming. Beyond it, self-reinforcing feedbacks could drive irreversible ice loss regardless of future emissions. Ice & Earth examines the science of ice sheet tipping points — and how close we may be.
