Cholewa ||<  || Cholewa ||<  || Hernandez ||<  || Hernandez ||< In the GIS lab, it displayed that the sea ice melting has been increasing since 1992. Since sea ice has been continuing melting, thickness of ice will, and temperatures will increase each year by .7 degrees Celsius. || On my GIS lab I learned how scientists track the origin and movement of oceanic water. The conditions are monitored using combination of satellite sensing and ocean buoy data recording. I learned that Greenland has a thermohaline circulation which is more commonly called the Oceanic Conveyer Belt

 * < Fakey McExample ||< =====This is the place where you will write down all the cool stuff you learned about Global climate change and about Greenland's Ice Cap melting, etc. while using MyWorldGIS.You should **use provide specific examples from the data or information** you looked at when you record your answer in the space below. You may need to look back at the questions you answered and ask yourself a question like "what was the trend seen in the data that allowed me to answer these questions, etc."===== ||
 * < Peter Aziz ||< In the myworldgis i learned a lot about ice caps and how they are melting rapidly. Greenlan is a perfect example due to the temperatures that have changed dramatically over the years. For example from 1979 to 2002, Greenland has experienced many changes in the temperature by having higher temperatures and ice melting at an alarming rate. They say that the temperature will increase from 6 degrees to 10.8 degrees. -this was not from the MyWorld GIS, No specific examples from data - 50%=Grade ||
 * < Abiola Adun ||< The My World GIS showed me the climate is changing in Greenland. The data shows that the velocity gates surround the center Greenland. The melting is also shown. The ice is thicker in the middle with an elevation of 5km and the surrounding ice is around .5 km. the ice has melted more along the east coast from 1992 to 2003. The ground elevation is also higher in the middle which is about 3000m and a low of 200m. The trend is the ice cap is getting smaller and smaller; it will disappear if this continues. ||
 * < Peter Aziz ||<  ||
 * < Michelle Castaneda ||< MyWorldGIS showed me how the ice caps were affected by the climate change that is happening. The ice sheet of Greenland is decreasing through time and it may happen in the future where Greenland's ice cap would permanently disappear..No specific examples from data 50%=Grade ||
 * < Jessica
 * < Julia
 * < Monica Dudzik ||< My GIS first introduced me to Greenland ice sheets. The elevation of the Greenland ice sheet increases as it gets closer to the middle. Also the harsh and cold conditions are an obstacle in making more research by scientists. The ice sheets have changed from the 1992 to 2002, the rate of melting increased exponentially. I was able to explore some photos and links about the melting extend. No specific examples from data 50% = Grade ||

 * < Micki Laws ||< In the GIS lab, I was able to see the Greenland climate changes. It's mainly affected by the Ice Sheets. The velocity changes from the center to the edges, elevation ranging from 3000m to 200m and thickness ranging from 5m to .5m If this trend continues on in the future, the ice sheets could disappear.. ||

 * < Jasmin Markicic ||< In my world GIS i was able to see the greenland glacier ice sheets. I also saw the climate and how it was changing due to the affect of the ice sheets. the ice sheets are causing the ground to elevate and i know this because it is at 3000m in the middle and at a low of 200m. If this still occurs the there will be no more ice sheets to be seen. I also viewed the layers of the ice sheet which i was able to then see the thickness and annual melting of the ice and ice extent. ||

 We were able to see the 1992 and 2002 melt extent which showed that the ice has melted about .7% per year and much of the ice is no longer there. Areas that reported melting went from 868 in 1992 to 3075 in 2002. I was able to view layers that show the ice sheet thickness( minimum being 342 m and the maximum being 2440m), weather station locations- Jakobshawn being thee lowest and CP1 the highest wiht a range of 2002),and the annual melt extent that has been increasing throughout the years since 1992.The overall trend shows that the increase in temperatures has affected the Greenland ice caps by melting them much faster. The GIS also showed the elevation vs depth at certain stations. ||
 * < Kenny Nissan ||<  ||
 * < Thomas Osvath ||<  ||
 * < Harshang Sheth ||< From the data collected, I learned that the temperature in the Greenland increased. This is the cause of global warming that melts the Greenland ice sheets. I was able to see the melting extent increased from 1992 to 2002. According to the results, there was 2207 increase in number of areas reported melting from 1992-2002 spans. On the graph of melting extent overtime has a trend that increases slowly throughout the decade. The Greenland Glacier Velocity Gates data table showed me minimum ice thickness, 332 m, and maximum ice thickness, 2430. The results form Salinity of the North Atlantic Ocean summarized me that where there is more saltiness and warm temperatures, distribution of dense water is more and where there is less saltiness and cold temperatures, distribution of dense water is less. In conclusion, the fresh water goes into the oceans by the source of melting water in the North Atlantic. ||
