Hidden Valleys Revealed Beneath Greenland's Ice Sheet
Original: Uncovering the Valleys Hidden Below Greenland’s Ice
NASA scientists are mapping vast valleys buried beneath the Greenland ice sheet, revealing dramatic hidden landscapes that were shaped before ice covered the island. The research helps scientists understand how the bedrock terrain influences ice flow and could improve predictions of how the ice sheet will respond to climate change and contribute to global sea-level rise.
Why now: New NASA research on Greenland's subglacial landscape has been published, drawing attention for its implications for sea-level rise predictions.
