Friction means Antarctic glaciers more sensitive to climate change
Pasadena CA (SPX) Mar 16, 2015 - One of the biggest unknowns in understanding the effects of climate change today is the melting rate of glacial ice in Antarctica. Scientists agree rising atmospheric and ocean temperatures could destabilize these ice sheets, but there is uncertainty about how fast they will lose ice. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is of particular concern to scientists because it contains enough ice to rais ... more
