Our world is melting, and it’s because of us.

Greenland is not only one of the world's major ice caps but also the most vulnerable to climate change. Compared to Antarctica, Greenland endures considerably warmer summer temperatures, leading to ice thinning by as much as 250 ft annually. This accelerated melting accounts for 25% of the global sea level rise.

As human activities continue to produce more CO2, Greenland's melting rate is expected to increase. However, the exact extent remains uncertain. Project Greenland aims to clarify this by capturing images of glaciers along Greenland’s coast and within its interior. These photographs of rarely documented glaciers will be compared with past images. By analyzing the extent of melting between photographs, we can deduce the rate of melting. With these updated figures, we can forecast future melting rates more precisely. We hope our findings will inspire well-informed environmental policies.
