Slush water-soaked snow makes up more than half of all meltwater on Antarctica ’s ice shelves during the height of summer , yet is poorly accounted for in regional climate models.
Increased meltwater can lead to ice shelf instability or collapse, which in turn leads to sea level rise.
Researchers used artificial intelligence techniques to map slush on Antarctic ice shelves.
As the climate continues to warm, more melting will occur, which could have implications for ice stability and sea level rise’ The research was supported in part by the European Space Agency and the Natural Environment Research Council ( NERC ), part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).
