Antarctic Ice Shelves are at Risk of Collapsing Due to Ocean Currents, a Research Shows
The interaction between meandering ocean currents and the ocean floor causes upwelling velocity, which carries warm water to shallower depths, according to a recent study published in Nature Communications. The Amundsen Sea in West Antarctica is seeing significant ice shelf melting due to this mechanism. The quick destabilization of these ice shelves is causing the […]
