Ocean water flows kilometers beneath ‘Doomsday Glacier’, creating potentially serious impacts on sea level rise
Ocean water is pushing miles beneath Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier,” making it more vulnerable to melting than previously thought, according to new research that used radar data from space to take X-rays of the crucial glacier. When salty, relatively warm ocean water meets ice, it causes “drastic melting” beneath the glacier and may mean global sea… Read More »
