In summer 2024, a Greenland expedition led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics dove into an undiscovered frontier in search of answers about future sea level rise BY CONSTANTINO PANAGOPULOS On the far western edge of Greenland’s ice sheet, a large glacier leads to the sea, where it breaks against the water like… Continue Reading Into the Glacial Abyss
Scientists Set Sail to Study Greenland Glaciers from Underwater
The University of Texas at Austin has embarked on a mission to explore the underwater edges of Greenland’s coastal glaciers to learn more about future sea level rise. The four-week expedition conducted with international partners will investigate processes that control how these giant glaciers melt and what that means for the future of the Greenland… Continue Reading Scientists Set Sail to Study Greenland Glaciers from Underwater
Robotic Exploration of Uncharted, Underwater Glacial Walls Set for 2023
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
