Study exposes role of sea ice in protecting Antarctic coast

Study exposes role of sea ice in protecting Antarctic coast A new method for detecting and monitoring change in the exposure of the Antarctic coastline to the dynamic Southern Ocean, due to changing sea-ice distribution, could improve environmental monitoring and modelling of Antarctic ice loss and sea level rise. For the first time, Dr Phil […]
