Nine times more ice is melting annually due to warmer temperatures
UCI and JPL find melting of Greenland’s glaciers worse than previously thought
New seafloor mapping techniques help scientists identify high-risk areas
Greenland’s fjords are far deeper than previously thought, and glaciers will melt faster, researchers find
West Greenland’s fjords are vastly deeper than rudimentary models have shown, allowing intruding ocean water to badly undercut glacier faces, which will raise sea levels around the world much faster than previously estimated, a UCI-led research team has found.
