‘MIZ-ing’ in action: how much of Antarctic sea ice is affected by waves? Using old satellite radar techniques, scientists have developed a new way of measuring the true extent of an under-studied and crucial region of the Antarctic sea-ice system for the first time. The Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) around Antarctica is the ‘outer edge’ […]
