It’s the front line of climate change and could hold the key to predicting global sea level rise, but what goes on at the underwater face of Greenland’s glaciers is a mystery to science. That could change in 2023 with a bold new mission led by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin that… Continue Reading Robotic Exploration of Uncharted, Underwater Glacial Walls Set for 2023

Scientists map movement of Greenland Ice During Past 9,000 years
Scientists have created the first map that shows how the Greenland Ice Sheet has moved over time, revealing that ice in the interior is moving more slowly toward the edges than it has, on average, during the past 9,000 years. The findings, which researchers said don’t change the fact that the ice sheet is… Continue Reading Scientists map movement of Greenland Ice During Past 9,000 years
