Ocean Storms Speed Antarctic Ice Melt

New research has uncovered powerful "stormlike" ocean circulation patterns beneath Antarctic ice shelves, driving aggressive and rapid melting with significant implications for global sea level rise. This groundbreaking study, published in Nature Geoscience, reveals a concerning positive feedback loop where increased melting generates more ocean turbulence, intensifying further ice loss in critical areas like the Thwaites and Pine Island Glaciers.
