What’s normal ice coverage for this area based on 100 years, 1000 years, 10,000 years?

Why does it even matter when we’ll all be under 100 feet of water by 2029?

It's common for snowfall over Greenland to almost equal to the amount of ice that's shed vía icebergs and a bit of melting at the edges. But there appears to be a net loss, and this contributes to sea level rise by a tiny amount.
-
There's also hints that open water increases arctic atmospheric humidity, and this in turn leads to increased snowfall over sea ice, over the Greenland ice field, and over adjoining land areas. It's a negative feedback.

It's in the same article. Or are you asking for The Guardian's source?

The physical data doesn't support the hypothesis. If "climate change" has been so drastic and devastating with the 1 degree rise in temperature over the past 100 years. How did the ice increase by 88 feet? Hmmm
-
Without any research at all, let me answer that: Ice decreased overall. (I assume that's the official answer.)

careful with this. glaciers accumulate snow at the top and extrude ice from pressure at depth. So 1959 layer will gradually move downwards even in constant-thickness glacier. Camp Century used modular nuclear reactor shipped in Hercules plane, as did Byrd in Antarctica.

It's the first link in the article itself ... at first glance, it doesn't really say much about the thickness of the ice cap so far, only that the waste has probably sunken within the ice. And that future global warming according to models yada, yada ... (1/2)

Basically accepting 3 Global Warming models as rote, and then guesstimating how they will affect this particular place. (2/2)
