Rebecca Neumann of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and colleagues, cracked the problem after seven years spent plotting the chemistry and underground flows of water beneath villages near Dhaka.

We suggested that, given the documented flow of water beneath the ice sheet, perhaps sub-glacial rivers carried in the microbes, and Tranter responded, «People would have laughed at you a decade ago, but there is a river system under the ice sheet.

Not exact matches

The soil beneath should be heavy so as to resist the flow of water.

Next year, the team will install seismometers to listen in on the flow of water through and beneath the ice, and to crevasse formation.

If you decouple that ice from where it's grounded — something that currents of warming water, already circulating around the Antarctic coast, could do — then water could flow beneath the inland ice and lubricate its slide into the ocean.

Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, has solidified its membership in the growing cadre of solar system locales where liquid water flows beneath the surface.

Now, scientists have found that the boiling action of just a little bit of briny water beneath the surface could be responsible for creating the hillside flows.

Beneath it lies another layer of rock full of ancient, salty water, and the change in water flow is allowing that to seep into the fresh water above.

The way in which water flows beneath the ice sheet strongly influences the speed of ice flow, so the existence of other lakes will have implications for the future of the ice sheet.

Because the way in which water moves beneath ice sheets strongly affects ice flow speeds, improved understanding of these lakes will allow us to predict more accurately how the ice sheet will respond to anticipated future warming.»

In the journal Science, the scientists noted that water could flow sluggishly just beneath the surface and remain liquid owing to high concentrations of salt, which acts as antifreeze.

That creates a return flow of warmer, saltier water toward Antarctica, where it's eroding ice shelves from beneath.»

Submerged beneath the gallery floor, the artist creates a haunting, elegiac experience, as the sounds of flowing water as it bubbles and gurgles through a self - contained sewer system penetrate the otherwise quiet reverence of the gallery space.

Peering beneath the grate, the dual-fold shock of discovering actual running water, as it flows and gurgles beneath the floor, is doubled upon discovery of the waxen figure submerged below, whose hairy chest is punctuated by a common kitchen drain.

Thus, if the absorption of the infrared emission from atmospheric greenhouse gases reduces the gradient through the skin layer, the flow of heat from the ocean beneath will be reduced, leaving more of the heat introduced into the bulk of the upper oceanic layer by the absorption of sunlight to remain there to increase water temperature.

When cold, dense water of the polar regions sinks and flows beneath warmer ocean water.

Form as cold, dense water of the polar regions sinks and flows beneath warmer ocean water.

An instrument called a Vertical Microstructure Profiler — a kind of giant toilet brush that measures subtle fluctuations in the water — detected turbulence amid meltwater as it flowed out of a cave beneath the Pine Island Glacier, one of Antarctica's fastest melting glaciers.

That creates a return flow of warmer, saltier water toward Antarctica, where it's eroding ice shelves from beneath.»

So on condensation, under the still rising hotter lighter air carrying on doing its thing and perhaps adding new layers, there would be the accompanying volume and temperature decrease of that first previously rising lighter volume now heavier liquid water and added to by the adjacent volumes of heavier colder air flowing beneath the still rising lighter hotter and into the space now available on condensation of its neighbour, which all now being heavier will increase the pressure at the surface as they all sink together displacing the lighter.

However, the the study also found that measurements at the ice's edge show that climate models alone can overestimate the volume of meltwater flowing to the ocean because they fail to account for water storage beneath the ice.
