In an initiative to combat the effects of climate change, such as melting glaciers, researchers are exploring an out-of-the-box strategy: underwater curtains.
Particularly concerning is the fate of the Thwaites Glacier, also called as the ‘Doomsday Glacier,’ a massive ice shelf in West Antarctica, which faces imminent collapse due to the erosion caused by these warm currents. Moore estimates that a staggering $50 billion would be required to realize this ambitious project. Current efforts are focused on testing a similar prototype, albeit on a smaller scale, with the University of Cambridge.
“We want to know, what could possibly go wrong? And if there’s no solution for it, then in the end you just have to give up,” Moore toldThe ‘Doomsday Glacier’ gets its name from concerns about its potential contribution to global sea level rise. Scientists are closely monitoring it because of its potential to significantly affect global sea levels if it were to collapse.
