Ocean water is pushing miles beneath Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier” on a daily basis making it more vulnerable to melting than previously thought, according to new research, which used radar data from space to perform an X-ray of the crucial glacier.
Ocean water is pushing miles beneath Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier,” making it more vulnerable to melting than previously thought, according to new research which used radar data from space to perform an X-ray of the crucial glacier.
The speed of the seawater, which moves considerable distances over a short time period, increases glacier melt because as soon as the ice melts, freshwater is washed out and replaced with warmer seawater, Rignot said. “This process of widespread, enormous seawater intrusion will increase the projections of sea level rise from Antarctica,” he added. Ted Scambos, a glaciologist at the University of Colorado Boulder, who was not involved in the study, called the research “fascinating and important.
