SOURCE: Scientific American DATE: November 6, 2017 SNIP: Significantly more ice in Greenland’s glaciers may be exposed to warming ocean waters than previously thought, new research suggests. Indeed, more than half the ice sheet may be subject to the melting...
SOURCE: NASA DATE: November 1, 2017 SNIP: New maps of Greenland’s coastal seafloor and bedrock beneath its massive ice sheet show that two to four times as many coastal glaciers are at risk of accelerated melting as previously thought. Researchers at the...
