Million-year-old air preserved in ancient ice holds clues to a mystery that has stumped scientists for decades: Why did the ice ages that once transformed Earth every 40,000 years begin to occur ...
One hypothesis asserts that melt hotspots (ice cliffs, ponds, or thin debris) increase thinning, while the other posits that declining ice flow leads to dynamic thinning under thick debris. Alaska’s ...
In particular, the new model is more comprehensive in accounting for sea currents and ice flow, which in turn accelerates how quickly the last ice area becomes seasonally ice-free after the central ...
"Crevasses can induce accelerated ice flow, leading to more crevassing. So there are these potential positive feedback loops caused by crevassing," MacKie said. "This mechanism should be ...
Flow chemistry is the development and study of chemical reactions whereby reactants are combined by pumping fluids, including solutions of reagents, through tubes at known rates. The relative ...
CATAWBA ISLAND - The U.S. Coast Guard in Marblehead and the Air Station in Detroit received a report from the police of four people stranded on an ice floe in Lake Erie. Marblehead Coast Guard was ...
