of ice and glaciers as abc7 news south bay reporter dustin dorsey tells us a new study by a san jose state researcher shows just how dire the situation is becoming. >> the scenes of greenland and don't let its name fool you. the beauty doesn't come from the green but from the white. the ice shelves and glaciers dating back millions of years ago. >> the sheer scale of the greenland ice sheet and the ice shelves is really astounding and really beautiful. but of course, the changes that we're seeing are also a bit concerning the

ice shelves are melting. >> san jose state assistant professor mike wood and a group of international researchers used data from satellites, aircrafts and other models to see an unprecedented increase in melting across greenland's northern eight ice shelves. one third of the shelves total mass is gone. >> we've seen an increase in ice melting on the undersides of these ice shelves over the past 20 years. and the reason for this increase was because of warming ocean waters around greenland. >> these shelves are an important part of the ecosystem because they hold glaciers on land and slow ice loss as they melt. researchers have seen the disturbing ization of nearby glaciers this is really important because as we melt down these ice shelves, they act as ice dams that help to hold back that ice. >> so as they weaken, this permits in an increase of the ice that can make it to the ocean and that causes sea level rise and the impacts are felt globally, including here in the bay area. ice is added to the ocean in northern greenland. it

melts and it finds its way through occurrence. so it really spreads across the entire world. and of course sea level rise is one of the most concerning components of our in our changing climate. and that's because most of our global population, like in the bay area , lives along the coast. so to keep the world above water, the goal of this study that would coauthored is to raise awareness about ice loss and sea level rise in order to take steps now to prevent further harm. it's a direct benefit to society. the more we know about these processes, the better we can adapt to it and the more we can help mitigate negative impacts on society resulting from sea level rise. >> dustin dawsey, abc seven news. and that could potentially have a major impact on in countries all over the world. >> so we'll see what happens. let's get a check of our local weather. >> yeah, let's do that. we have some interesting weather to talk about with sandhya patel. sandhya yes, you are referring to the wet pattern that is setting up for next week, karina and larry, let's take a look at some live pictures right now. it is just absolutely gorgeous.

expected. wet weather to start as early as monday possibly, but it's tuesday. you will notice wednesday the entire state looking at rain, sierra snow mixing in with rain. that continues thursday, even into friday. so this is a rough computer model. we're still days away. this will change and rainfall projections will change. but next week we're looking at over two inches of rain in san francisco, over a half a foot in santa barbara. accuweather, seven day forecast tomorrow's dry cooler cold in the morning isolated shower chance friday veterans day will feature a sunshine and warmer weather and sunday is still pretty nice a slight chance on monday but level one storm starting on tuesday and wednesday. so larry and karina, we're going to have to get out the rain gear and hang on to them. >> all right. thank you, sandra. >> well, a historic stack of comic books is going up for auction. >> it may have superhero fans saying, holy smokes, ba
