Aberystwyth University researchers are beginning to receive satellite data from seals showing how much oxygen is contained in the region’s water - a way of measuring its age and where it comes from.
Part of an international effort to understand the effects of climate change in polar regions, this data is being used to see how water circulation is changing and its effects on glaciers.
How far and how fast the warm current flows under the Antarctic glaciers, thawing them underneath, will affect how quickly they retreat.Cynhyrchydd / Awdur Chris Betteley URL https://www.cambrian-news.co.uk/news/age-of-antarctic-ice-being-revealed-by-seals-in-aberystwyth-university-research-700873 Unigolion Guilherme A.
