Interacting Antarctic Glaciers May Cause Faster Melt and Sea Level Contributions – Science Daily
Article Synopsis – Two of the most rapidly changing glaciers in Antarctica, which are leading contributors to sea-level rise, may behave as an interacting system rather than separate entities, according to a new analysis of radar data. Researchers found that a tributary of Pine Island Glacier, a deep ice channel between the two glaciers, could trigger or accelerate ice loss in Thwaites Glacier. This is an important finding for understanding and projecting ice sheet contributions to sea-level rise. To read the actual article click here.
