Pre-glacial West Antarctica was a rugged, uneven landscape, not a flat plain, reshaping our understanding of how its ice sheet first formed and how it may behave in a warming climate, a new study led by Imperial College London has revealed.
This comes alongside the news – announced today – that an international team, also involving Imperial, has recently set up a remote camp on the ice in Antarctica to attempt to drill for mud and rocks that hold critical insights about the fate of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet due to climate change.
