New Study Reveals Recent Ice Gains in Antarctica, But Long-Term Melting Continues

A study led by researchers at Tongji University using NASA's GRACE satellites has observed recent ice gains in Antarctica from 2021 to 2023, mainly due to unusual precipitation. However, the long-term satellite data from 2002 to 2020 shows a significant and accelerating trend of ice loss. However, experts emphasize this short-term gain does not reverse the effects of global warming, as Antarctica continues to be impacted by climate change. This nuanced finding underscores the complexity of global warming’s regional impacts.
