"Preventing Glacier Melting with Underwater Curtains"

Scientists are proposing the construction of a 100km-long underwater curtain in front of Antarctic glaciers to protect them from warm sea water erosion, as the melting of these glaciers could lead to catastrophic flooding and displacement of millions of people. The curtain, if implemented, would be one of the largest geo-engineering projects ever undertaken and aims to slow down the undermining of glaciers by restricting the inflow of warm water. The project is in its early stages, with research underway to determine the best materials and methods for construction, and initial tests scheduled to be carried out later this year.
