Academics from Northumbria University are part of an international research team which has used data from satellites to track changes in the thickness of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
Global warming is causing the Ice Sheet to melt and flow more rapidly, raising sea levels and disturbing weather patterns across our planet.
Because of this, precise measurements of its changing shape are of critical importance for tracking and adapting to the effects of climate warming.
