    New Discovery: Old Climate Models Overestimate Ice Reflectivity by 5%, Underestimating Impact of Microphysical Properties

    Broke On: Monday, 15 July 2024 Scientists from the University of California, Irvine and the University of Michigan discovered a significant flaw in climate models that overestimated ice reflectivity due to a lack of consideration for microphysical properties like algae and dust. This led to an increase in Greenland Ice Sheet melting by about six gigatons more than older model versions. Accurate climate models are crucial for understanding the future implications of human-driven climate change.

    New Discovery: Ocean Water Melting Antarctica's Doomsday Glacier from Below, Potentially Accelerating Sea Level Rise

    Broke On: Monday, 20 May 2024 New research reveals that seawater moving under Antarctica's Doomsday Glacier is causing vigorous melting, potentially increasing global sea level rise projections. The findings from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences show that this previously unaccounted process could speed up ice loss and have significant implications for future sea level rise.
