New Models Unveil Antarctica’s Hidden Waterways, Ice Flow and Rising Seas
An extensive model of the Antarctic ice sheet is helping researchers peer deep beneath the ice to reveal the continent's hidden plumbing. Scientists used computer models to predict how water flows under the entire Antarctic ice sheet, which dictates where and how quickly glaciers move toward the ocean. The findings, published Dec. 29, 2024 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, will improve predictions of ice sheet stability and future sea level rise.
Antarctica is melting, and crucial details are beginning to come into focus of exactly how it's happening. The size of the Antarctic ice sheet can be …
