text: Using radar interferometer data from the Italian Space Agency’s COSMO-SkyMed satellite system, the researchers more precisely determined Denman’s grounding line, the point at which the ice leaves the land and begins to float in the ocean.
text: Researchers have produced the first physics-based quantifiable evidence that thinning ice shelves all around Antarctica result in an instantaneous response sending more ice flowing from the land into the ocean.
text: Mass once concentrated as ice at the poles is flowing into the oceans and spreading fairly quickly across the globe.
text: Ice shelves are thick layers of ice floating on the sea – can stabilise the glaciers that feed them.
text: thick platforms of ice that float on the ocean.
text: They're formed when ice slowly flows from glaciers and ice streams onto the ocean, but the ice doesn't melt right away due to cold ocean temperatures.
text: Techniques used to estimate ice sheet balance included a comparison of snowfall accumulation in interior basins with ice discharge by glaciers at their grounding lines, where ice begins to float in the ocean and detach from the bed.
text: A pretty large percentage of the ice that flows into the ocean is melted away by the warm ocean water,” says Amundson.
