We often hear about record melting from the Greenlandic ice sheet, about giant icebergs that are torn loose, and about a rapidly rising sea level. In recent decades, the methods to observe the ice sheet have become many, and all point to larger and larger mass loss.

But what is actually record melting? And how has the ice cap reacted to previous temperature fluctuations?

This lecture will tell you about all the new methods used to detect the melting of the ice. The same for the methods is that they have not been in operation for a very long time and therefore can take into account natural fluctuations in temperature. By using old images and geological methods, the presenter will bring our knowledge of the glaciers ' rendering even further back and at the same time place the contemporary rendering in a bigger perspective.
