Scientists using satellite data discovered a 34-million-year-old landscape beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, offering insights into past climate cycles and potential future sea level rise, highlighting the importance of understanding ice sheet dynamics in the context of global warming.
Scientists using satellite technology have uncovered a 34-million-year-old landscape beneath East Antarctica's ice sheet, revealing ancient river-carved terrain that offers insights into Earth's climatic history and future ice sheet behavior.
Scientists have discovered a 34-million-year-old hidden river-carved landscape beneath 2 km of Antarctic ice using satellite technology, revealing a preserved ancient environment that offers insights into Earth's climatic history and future ice sheet behavior.
Scientists using satellite imagery discovered a 34-million-year-old landscape beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, offering insights into past climate cycles and potential future ice melt impacts, including significant sea level rise. The find provides a rare glimpse into Earth's geological history and emphasizes the importance of understanding ice dynamics in the context of global warming.
Scientists have discovered a vast hidden landscape of hills and valleys, created by ancient rivers, that has been preserved under the Antarctic ice for millions of years. This landscape, larger than Belgium, remained untouched for over 34 million years, but human-driven global warming poses a threat to its exposure. Using satellite images and radio-echo sounding data, researchers were able to trace out the undulating ice surface and reveal a river-carved landscape. The study warns that global warming could lead to the exposure of this hidden world, as atmospheric conditions similar to those of 14 to 34 million years ago are projected. However, the landscape is currently hundreds of kilometers inland from the ice edge, making any possible exposure a long way off.
Scientists have discovered a vast, hidden landscape of hills and valleys carved by ancient rivers under the Antarctic ice, which has remained untouched for potentially more than 34 million years. The landscape, larger than Belgium, was revealed using existing satellite images and radio-echo sounding data. However, human-driven global warming poses a threat to this hidden world, as it could be exposed in the future. The researchers warn that current atmospheric conditions are similar to those that prevailed millions of years ago, and the melting of the ice sheet could lead to a "runaway reaction" of melting.
