Underwater glacier-guarding walls could have unintended consequences

Phys.org

Warm water flowing into fjords and beneath ice shelves will continue to be a prime cause of glacial melting as global temperatures rise. This melting will, in turn, contribute to sea level rise and increasing […]

When does melting ice capsize? New research unearths several mechanisms

Phys.org

Rising temperatures of the world’s oceans threaten to accelerate the melting and splintering of glaciers—thereby potentially increasing the number of icebergs and, with it, the need to better understand more about their movement and impact. […]
