NASA | Ask a Climate Scientist: Thinning Ice Sheets

The video discusses the significance of ice thickness in polar science, highlighting the thinning of ice sheets and sea ice. It explains how this thinning, observed through satellite data, contributes to water level changes. The Greenland ice sheet is particularly affected, with thinning occurring mainly along coastlines, leading to sea level rise.
