Recent research from Newcastle University in the UK shows that glacier melting on the Juneau Icefield, which lies between Alaska and British Columbia, has sped up a lot since 2010. The study found that from 1770 to 1979, glaciers lost between 0.65 and 1.01 km³ of ice per year. This loss increased to between 3.08 and 3.72 km³ per year from 1979 to 2010. From 2010 to 2020, the rate of ice loss doubled to 5.91 km³ per year.
