Greenland's ice loss accelerating rapidly, gravity-measuring satellites reveal

"The estimates showed that 69 percent of the ice-mass loss in recent years came from eastern Greenland. Of the 57 cubic miles (239 cubic kilometers) of water mass lost on average each year, 39 cubic miles (164 cubic kilometers) were from the eastern shoreline. More than half of that eastern loss involved ice from the glacier complex in southeast Greenland."

There's your number for the whole ice sheet.

Well, thanks for the link, but those data are based on gravimetric readings. I would be much more confident in actual measurements of the ice surface elevation, which is what the posted article is based on.

BTW, at the average rate of 239 cubic kilometers per year, it will take 12,000 years to melt the Greenland ice cap.
