Scientists have hypothesized that a strategically placed curtain in front of a glacier could prevent glacial melt and slow sea level rise
A bold engineering project might show a way to slow sea-level rise — and bring new imagination to the fight against climate change.
Researchers are exploring whether building massive berms or unfurling underwater curtains could hold back the warm waters degrading ice sheets.
Fast-melting ice caps and glaciers have perilous and immediate dark sides and slow, excruciating social, ecological, and political pitfalls. Has the time come to explore out-of-the-box solutions to quickly slow down the effects of melting ice caps and rising sea levels? We explore
These less-than-conventional methods might be the future front lines of fighting climate change Photo: BBC News April 19, 2021 Reversing the effects of climate change has been top of mind for the scientific community for many years. Some of the ways suggested are outside the box — so we rounded up a handful of them. Here are our six favourites: By spraying ice with glass The Arctic Ice Project is looking to spread small glass beads on the surface of ice in the Arctic in order to make it more reflective. Reflecting the glare of the sun off the ice results in less sunlight absorbed, mean...
