Enhancing glacier monitoring

In the heart of the Swiss Alps, scientists are pioneering new methods to monitor glacier health with unprecedented precision. By harnessing satellite data and advanced modelling techniques, they’re gaining insights into the subtle changes in glacier mass balance, crucial for understanding water resources and the impacts of climate change. Glaciers are sensitive indicators of climate …

Antarctic glacier caught stealing ice from neighbour

In a surprising discovery, scientists have observed a glacier in West Antarctica rapidly diverting ice from its neighboring glacier, a phenomenon dubbed “ice piracy.” This significant shift, previously believed to occur over millennia, has occurred in less than two decades. The study, led by researchers from the University of Leeds and published in The Cryosphere, …

How hidden lakes threaten Antarctic Ice Sheet stability

  A paper, recently published in Nature Communications, reveals that a major subglacial lake drainage event beneath Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier in 2013 temporarily doubled the rate of ocean-driven melting beneath its ice shelf. The sudden release of over 7 km³ of freshwater formed a buoyant plume that intensified the melting effect of warm, deep ocean …

ARCTIC FLOW

Prime company: Zenithal Blue Technologies SLU (ES)

In ARCTIC-FLOW we plan to generate new 16-year temporal series of satellite-derived freshwater and density flux products for Arctic and sub-Arctic regions by using in a synergistic way satellite estimates of Sea Surface Temperature, Sea Surface Currents and Sea Surface Salinity. The new satellite-derived assessment of freshwater and density fluxes will be used to study …
