underwater glacial ice, as it melts into warmer sea water, creates one of the loudest natural marine environments, and the air bubbles that pop during the process could help scientists measure the rate of glacier melt and track fast - changing polar environments.
Not exact matches
Since so much of the
ice sheet is grounded
underwater, rising sea levels may have the effect of lifting the sheets, allowing more - and increasingly warmer - water underneath it, leading to further bottom melting, more
ice shelf disintegration, accelerated
glacial flow, and further sea level rise, and so on and on, another vicious cycle.
