Predicting the expected loss of ice sheet mass is difficult due to the complexity of modeling ice sheet behavior. To better understand this loss, a team of researchers has been improving the ...

New Year's Day, 2002. Without warning, a few large cracks in the Larsen B ice shelf appeared in satellite imagery. Within days, car-sized chunks of ice appeared in the water. Then shards of ice larger ...

The biggest uncertainty in end-of-the-century sea level rise comes from the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), the miles-thick, continent-sized polar ice mass that covers the South Pole. However, current ...

Kristin Poinar can speak to the media about climate change, ice sheets and sea level rise. As a researcher, she uses computer modeling to understand how Earth’s ice sheets are shrinking and ...

Two University of Montana researchers are using advanced neural networks along with other things to improve climate models to help predict threats to coastal ar ...
