New research has uncovered evidence that Antarctic ice sheets are melting at a considerably faster rate than previously recorded, posing a hazard to global sea levels.
Climate Code Red, a very thorough and well-respected source on climate change/global warming, recently issued a three-part study on where things stand
Irreversible loss of the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets may be imminent if global temperature change cannot be stabilized below 1.8°C.
So this is like the very first measurement an oceanographer would make from the site, you record the saltiness of the water throughout the whole depth profile and you record the temperature change. the ocean is getting warmer, it is acidifying, we are seeing much faster glacial melting, the ice sheets are melting, there's huge injections of fresh water that are going on. having this kind of information from remote parts of the world like this is really important to understand those changes. and we're going to be able to link this data to all of the species that we document through the video an...
Are more challenging than others but for the most part, every day is great. every day is great. for sure. bottom out around 800 metres... so this is like the very first measurement an oceanographer would make from the site, you record the saltiness of the water throughout the whole depth profile and you record the temperature change. the ocean is getting warmer, it is acidifying, we are seeing much faster glacial melting, the ice sheets are melting, there�*s huge injections of fresh water that are going on. having this kind of information from remote parts of the world like this is really im...
