Impact of Iceland's Ice Mass on Earth's Gravitational Field

Glacial Downwasting and Gravity Changes

Iceland's glaciers are experiencing significant downwasting, which affects the Earth's gravitational field. Research indicates that these glaciers have been retreating and thinning since 1995, losing approximately 10 cubic kilometers of ice per year. This mass loss alters the distribution of mass on Earth, which in turn impacts the gravitational field.

@petergleick I'd say we skip it, but then who knows what we'll find in 2027.

@stgm @appassionato @petergleick Not to disappoint you, but around the equator on the planet would see it most.

I'm 13 degrees off the equator, give or take. I'm waiting for surfboard prices to drop once companies stop marketing their AI versions...
