Unlike previous Antarctic ice sheet models, this one included the influence of this flow of meltwater from beneath glaciers out to sea, which is known as subglacial discharge. These glaciers, which ...

Researchers have found that subglacial discharge, or meltwater flowing out to sea from beneath Antarctic glaciers, could be causing glaciers to lose ice at a faster rate. This discharge raises the ...

By contrast, subglacial rivers channel meltwater into a smaller area, causing comparatively less glacial movement. Researchers have used radio signals and satellite imagery to map the size of ...

Our new research published in Nature Communications shows "subglacial water" plays a far larger role in Antarctic ice loss than previously thought. If it's not properly accounted for, future sea ...

More likely is the generation of large quantities of meltwater during subglacial eruptions that might lubricate West Antarctica's ice streams. The eruption of even a single volcano situated ...

The interaction between volcanic activity and ice creates fascinating subglacial waterways. When warmth from these sleeping giants meets the ice above, it forms elaborate meltwater networks that ...

Where the ice gets thinner toward the margins of the ice sheet, subglacial meltwater begins to refreeze, concentrating dissolved minerals and eventually forming hypersaline brines. Mineral deposits ...

"The meltwater from the surface of glaciers is ... through oxidation -- e.g., through the use of certain soil types. A subglacial black box The actual sources and locations of subglacial methane ...

Unlike previous Antarctic ice sheet models, this one included the influence of this flow of meltwater from beneath glaciers out to sea, which is known as subglacial discharge. The two glaciers the ...

New Delhi, October 28 Meltwater flowing out to sea from beneath Antarctic glaciers, or subglacial discharge, could be making them lose ice faster, researchers have found in a new study.
