Melting ice slows Earth’s rotation and shifts its axis, research shows
Climate change is altering the Earth to its literal core, new research shows. As polar and glacial ice melts due to global warming, water that was once concentrated at the…
Melting ice slows Earth’s rotation, shifts its axis and even affects its inner core, research shows
Climate change is altering the Earth to its literal core, new research shows. As polar and glacial ice melts due to global warming, water that was once concentrated at the…
Melting ice makes the Earth heavier to spin, causing longer days
For centuries, human actions have had little effect on the Earth's movements, ie. its speed and axis of rotation. These motions are driven primarily by the moon's gravitational pull and…
Melting polar ice is changing the way Earth spins, making our days longer | CNN
CNN — The impact of human-induced climate change is so huge that it's actually messing with time, according to new research. The melting of polar ice caused by global warming…
Thwaites Glacier receives a ‘daily warm water bath’, melting the interior ice kilometers after grounding.
"Think of spraying an icy road with a stream of warm salt water - you don't need meters of that salt water to melt the ice quickly." Eric Reno Thwaites…
Faster melting of ice in Antarctica could lead to more coastal flooding
If you've ever built a sandcastle on the beach, you've seen how seawater in the sand can quickly undermine the castle. A new study by the British Antarctic Survey concludes…
Glacier doomsday clock ticking: Satellites reveal ‘vigorous melting’ under Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier
A team led by glaciologists at the University of California, Irvine, used satellite radar data to reconstruct the impact of warm ocean water rising in a grounding zone extending several…
