redOrbit: A new study found that fast-flowing and narrow glaciers could trigger massive changes in the Antarctic ice sheet, inevitably adding sea-level rise and ice-sheet decay.
The team tested high-resolution model simulations against reconstructions of the Antarctic ice sheet from 20,000 years ago.
Writing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), they said they used a new model during their study, capable of resolving responses to ice-streams and other fine-scale dynamic......
