Greenland model could help estimate sea level rise

Greenland model could help estimate sea level rise Fairbanks AK (SPX) Feb 04, 2016 - University of Alaska Fairbanks mathematicians and glaciologists have taken a first step toward understanding how glacier ice flowing off Greenland affects sea levels. Andy Aschwanden, Martin Truffer and Mark Fahnestock used mathematical computer models and field tests to reproduce the flow of 29 inlet glaciers fed by the Greenland ice sheet. They compared their data with data from NASA's O ... morehttp://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Greenland_model_could_help_estimate_sea_level_rise_999.html
