Senegal-sized Antarctic glacier melting faster than scientists thought
Original: Senegal-sized Antarctic glacier melting faster than thought: Why it matters
A vast Antarctic glacier roughly the size of Senegal is melting faster than previously estimated, according to coverage highlighted by Al Jazeera. The report explains why the accelerated ice loss matters globally, as melting from such large glaciers contributes to rising sea levels that threaten coastal communities worldwide. It is the latest in a series of studies suggesting Antarctic ice loss is outpacing earlier scientific projections.
Why now: New findings that a massive Antarctic glacier is melting faster than expected renew concern about sea-level rise.
