More coastal glaciers around the world are melting faster than ever, but what exactly triggers the large-scale retreat is hard to discern due to natural fluctuations in the glacier environment. Now, researchers from the University of Texas Institute of Geophysics (UTIG) and the Georgia Institute for Technology have developed a methodology to determine why coastal […]
