460-km-long river discovered snaking though base of Antarctic ice sheet
Posted by ArielTechGeek 740 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Among the many mechanisms shaping the Antarctic ice sheet are the processes playing out in its lower layers, and a newly discovered sub-glacial river suggests it may drain away faster than we thought. Scientists say the 460-km-long (285-mile) river shows the base of the ice sheet features more flowing water than we realized, which may accelerate its melting as the planet continues to warm.Continu
in a tongue-in-cheek commentary, 'once ice' bottles meltwater from arctic glaciers to propose a stop to global sea level rises.
The post bottled meltwater from arctic + antarctic glaciers humorously combats rising sea levels appeared first on designboom | architecture & design magazine.
