UCI and JPL researchers discover huge and growing hole beneath West Antarctic glacier
A study by scientists from UCI and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has revealed a gigantic cavity on the underside of Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica. The hole is reportedly two-thirds the area of Manhattan, about 1,000 feet tall and expanding. The findings were published today in Science Advances. The researchers expected to find gaps between […]
Glaciers in East Antarctica also ‘imperiled’ by climate change, UCI researchers find
Usually seen as less vulnerable, they carry the potential to add 16 feet to global sea level
UCI Earth system scientist joins international team studying Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica
Mathieu Morlighem, UCI assistant professor of Earth system science, is contributing his expertise in ice sheet numerical modeling to the newly launched International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration. The five-year, $25 million project, co-sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the U.K.’s Natural Environment Research Council, aims to provide answers to some of the most pressing inquiries […]
