And then, less than two years later, they returned to near their previous rates of discharge. Future warming may lead to rapid pulses of retreat and increased discharge rather than a long, steady drawdown, researchers say. http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=30544 Environment Science Sandra Hines (shines@u.washington.edu) http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=30544 Tue, 13 Feb 2007 19:50:43 GMT In a pair of companion papers in Science Express this week, scientists investigate the role of surface meltwater on accelerating the flow of the Greenland Ice Sheet and outlet glaciers and conclude that, while surface melt plays a substantial role in ice sheet dynamics, it may not produce large instabilities. For one thing, it turns out that this meltwater has a much more subdued influence than had been thought on the fast-moving outlet glaciers that rapidly discharge ice to the ocean. http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=41159 Science Environment Sandra Hines (shines@u.washington.edu) http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=41159 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 17:22:43 GMT
