Question
Analysis of satellite data indicates that the Greenland ice sheet lost approximately 2900 gigatons (gt) of mass between March 2002 and September 2014. The mean mass loss rate for 2013–14 was 6 gt per year; the rate for 2012–13 was 474 gt per year. Let GG be the number of gigagtons of ice in the Greenland ice sheet at time t in years.
