CU Boulder researchers discovered a new process causing the Hektoria Glacier in Antarctica to retreat rapidly, losing about half its mass in two months, marking the fastest grounded glacier retreat ever recorded.
Hektoria Glacier in Antarctica experienced the fastest modern retreat, breaking records with a rapid five-mile loss in two months due to buoyancy-driven calving on a flat seabed, highlighting the potential for similar events to accelerate sea level rise globally.
A record-breaking rapid collapse of Antarctica's Hektoria Glacier, losing nearly half its mass in two months due to its flat bedrock topography, highlights potential risks for global sea level rise and offers new insights into glacier retreat mechanisms.
A new study reports that the Hektoria Glacier in Antarctica retreated nearly 50% in just two months, marking the fastest retreat in modern history, which could have significant implications for global sea level rise if similar rates occur in larger glaciers.
A new study reports that the Hektoria Glacier in Antarctica is retreating at a rate ten times faster than previously measured, with significant calving and potential implications for sea level rise, highlighting the urgent need for further research into Antarctic glaciers and bedrock.
A new study suggests that the Hektoria Glacier in Antarctica retreated over 8 km in just two months, potentially due to unprecedented grounding on the seabed, which could have significant implications for future sea-level rise. However, some scientists contest the findings due to uncertainties about the glacier's grounding line location. The rapid changes highlight the urgent need for more satellite data to understand polar region dynamics amid climate change.
