Description

This study examines past and present accumulation rates of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) to improve our understanding of the ice sheet’s evolution and its contribution to sea-level rise. The research team used a pervasive ice-penetrating radar reflector dated to 4.72 ka BP, called the “4.72 ka IRH”, to infer accumulation rates across a […]
