Researchers identify biggest threats to Larsen C iceshelf BAS_News
The review is an important contribution to our understanding of the largest remaining ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula. Research into Larsen C is of high importance as several studies have suggested that the ice shelf may be vulnerable to collapse. As well as fundamentally altering the Antarctic landscape this would contribute indirectly toIn the study—published in the—scientists used computer modeling informed by direct observations of the Antarctic Peninsula region.
Dr. Ella Gilbert, regional climate modeler at BAS and lead author on this study says that"we should all care about ice shelves because their loss affects us all. When ice shelves collapse it's like pulling the cork out of a bottle. The glaciers that were previously held back can flow unrestrained into the ocean, adding to global sea levels.
As the climate changes and temperatures rise, the conditions that permit melt to occur will happen more frequently as
