Massive northeast Greenland glacier is rapidly melting, UCI-led team finds
Breakup of Zachariae Isstrom could substantially raise global sea levels
Breakup of Zachariae Isstrom could substantially raise global sea levels
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.
An expedition to Greenland with UCI glaciologists reveals ‘time bomb’ effects of global warming
A comprehensive, 21-year analysis of the fastest-melting region of Antarctica has found that the melt rate of glaciers there has tripled during the last decade.
He punctuates speech on climate change with hearty “Zot! Zot! Zot!”
Using sophisticated satellite technology, Isabella Velicogna documents the ice sheet melt in Greenland and Antarctica. The assistant professor of Earth system science has shown that glaciers are losing mass at an increasing rate — a trend with dire implications for the planet.
