Ocean Water is Rushing Miles Underneath The ‘Doomsday Glacier’ With Potentially Dire Impacts on Sea Level Rise
Ocean water is pushing miles beneath Antarctica’s terminal glacier, making it more susceptible to melting than previously thought. This is according to a new study that used radar data from space to take X-ray images of important glaciers. When salty, relatively warm ocean water collides with ice, it causes “severe melting” beneath the glaciers. Underestimating […]
