The East Antarctic Ice Sheet contains the vast majority of Earth’s glacier ice (about 52 metres sea-level equivalent), but is often viewed as less vulnerable to global warming than the West Antarctic or Greenland ice sheets. However, some region
In 1847, Sir John Franklin and a crew of 128 men disappeared while searching for the fabled Northwest Passage. A National Geographic team sought to find evidence of their fate—but the Arctic doesn’t give up its secrets easily.
Global conflict involving Russia at this time has also increased pressure on the NWP as some nations may be reluctant to utilise or consider the near-term future utilisation of the Northern Sea Route. The NWP comprises of a southern shallow water route which passes to the south of Victoria ...
While the absence of the shows didn’t necessarily cement the cancellation of the series,Giancarlo Volpe, the showrunner for “Green Lantern: Tas” confirmed the news via his Twitter stating, “This time we knew. They just didn’t want us to announce it publicly until they did. ...
ice. You will also visit the Kiruna mine to explore the world’s largest underground iron ore mine where you can witness cutting-edge mining technology, including remotely operated drills and driverless loaders, and learn about the mine's significant role in shaping Kiruna’s past and future. ...
the Amundsen Sea sector of WAIS, which contains two of the most rapidly thinning ice streams, Pine Island Glacier (PIG) and Thwaites Glacier (TG)4. These ice streams are particularly vulnerable because the bedrock beneath lies below current sea level and deepens towards the interior of the ice...
Both observations23 and models24,25 have emphasized the potential change in ocean–ice interaction at the FRIS under future climates, with the hypothesized presence of a tipping point under which WDW intru- sion could trigger rapid ice-shelf melting26. However, FRIS has thus far been well ...
Once Sister Madeline is knocked out, quickly take the rifle from J and he will return to the safehouse. Meanwhile, make a beeline for the garage, which contains Rod’s ice cream van inside. At the back of the garage is a vent, near one of the tree stumps we pointed out previously....
Future cli- mate simulations indicate that the spatial distribution of lake ice cover in the Northern Hemisphere will turn more than 35,000 seasonally frozen lakes into intermittently ice-free lakes in a 2 °C warmer world, affecting nearly 400 million people7. Of those lakes, up to 5700 are...
(e.g., Brearley and Jones1998). On the other hand, results from the Stardust mission showed that comet dust contains minerals formed at high temperature, presumably near to the Sun (Brownlee et al.2006). Meanwhile, many extrasolar systems with gas giant planets close to their stars have ...
