Challenging modern climate stories: Forgotten aerial photographs from 1937 expose the Antarctic anomaly

SciTechDaily

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen used aerial photographs from 1937 to analyze the stability and growth of the ice in East Antarctica, showing that despite some signs of weakening, the ice has remained largely stable for almost a century, contradicting predictions about sea level rise is improving.

Doomsday Glacier’s ticking clock: Satellites reveal “powerful melt” beneath Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier

SciTechDaily

A team led by glaciologists from UC Irvine used satellite radar data to reconstruct the impact of warm ocean water rising in a grounding zone extending several kilometers beneath the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica. The research, the subject of an article published in PNAS, will help climate modelers derive more accurate projections of sea … Read more
