Ocean warming primary cause of glacier retreat
Read more of: Ocean warming primary cause of glacier retreatA new study has found for the first time that ocean warming is the primary cause of retreat of glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula. The Peninsula is one of the largest current contributors to sea-level rise and this new finding will enable researchers to make better predictions of ice loss from this region.
