Antarctic glaciers are probably extra delicate to adjustments in sea temperature than was thought, new analysis reveals.
For the primary time in historical past, scientists have drilled 600m (1,968ft) to the underside of the Thwaites glacier in West Antarctica, and brought measurements of the place the ice is melting.
Footage taken in 2019 initially of the research reveals researchers from the British Antarctic Survey and the US Antarctic programme discovering the underside of the ice trying like “staircases”, suggesting the ice is melting at a sooner charge in weak spots.
The research will allow scientists to make extra correct forecasts on how rapidly sea ranges will rise as world temperatures enhance within the many years to come back.
