A common headline in the media is "Greenland is melting". The underlying story usually points out that Greenland, which is by far the largest mass of ice in the Northern hemisphere, contains enough water to raise the sea level by 20 feet. Are these media reports all hype, or is Florida really doomed in the next few years? In this presentation, I will discuss what we know and don't know about how climate warming is affecting the cryosphere, with a focus on Greenland. In particular, we will look at some of the research that is trying to answer the very difficult problem of predicting the real future of this large ice mass.
