This slow - simmering geothermal heat flow is actually able to mix the very weakly stratified bottom waters of the Arctic. (dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com)
Numerous research studies, including one conducted by scientists from the University of Texas, indicate that deep ocean geothermal heat flow has contributed to bottom melting of a much publicized Thwaites glacier. (cfact.org)
They have identified a process called «dynamic thinning», triggered by warmer air temperatures, and they know anyway that natural geothermal heat flow mis likely to melt the base of the ice and lubricate any acceleration. (chimalaya.org)
