How stable is the Antarctic ice sheet?
Added: 01.12.2020 3:18 | 19 views | 0 comments

An international team of scientists has now examined the dynamics of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet more closely using deep-sea sediments dating back approximately 2.5 million years. Their results indicate that, in a constantly warming climate, the ice masses of East Antarctica could be much less stable than previously thought.
