Episode Synopsis

This study examines past and present accumulation rates of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) to improve our understanding of the ice sheet’s evolution and its contribution to sea-level rise. The research team used a pervasive ice-penetrating radar reflector dated to 4.72 ka BP, called the “4.72 ka IRH”, to infer accumulation rates across a […]
