Scientists Have Finally Worked Out The Truth About Iceberg Melting
Icebergs don't melt the way scientists' models have said they do – but an upgrade, taking into account previously ignored factors, is now available. The refinement isn't important for the reasons you might immediately think – it doesn't really affect models of sea-level rise – but it could have other very significant implications. Physicists have been gazing at ice cubes melting into their whiskey or soda long enough that you'd think it would have inspired a thousand grant applications. However, University of Sydney PhD student Eric Hester said in a statement when scientists modeled th...
