Algae darkening Greenland's ice are accelerating melt, potentially boosting sea-level rise.
Researchers found that dark algae, thriving on Greenland's ice, are accelerating ice melt by absorbing more sunlight.
Despite nutrient-poor conditions, these resilient algae darken the ice, leading to faster melting.
On Greenland's west coast, algae have increased ice melt by about 10%.
This discovery could enhance ice melt models and better predict the impact on global climate and sea levels.
