Scientists publish the most detailed map ever made of the subglacial landscape of Antarctica. Thanks to satellite data and a new method of analysis, they reveal thousands of previously unknown reliefs, crucial information to predict the rise of waters due to climate change.
Using satellite data and ice flow physics, a group of international researchers led by the University of Edinburgh (United Kingdom) have mapped the hidden subglacial rocky landscape of Antarctica – one of the least mapped planetary surfaces of the Solar System – with unprecedented detail, revealing never-before-seen geological structures that shape the ice layer from below. As noted in Science, the findings not only improve the models of the ice…
