Meltwater flowing beneath Antarctic glaciers may be accelerating their retreat
San Diego CA (SPX) Oct 30, 2023
A new Antarctic ice sheet modeling study from scientists at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography suggests that meltwater flowing out to sea from beneath Antarctic glaciers is making them lose ice faster. The model's simulations suggest this effect is large enough to make a meaningful contribution to global sea-level rise under high greenhouse gas emissions scenarios. The extr
