El estallido de burbujas acelera el deshielo de los glaciares

by Erin Martin-Jones 28 November 202328 November 2023

Tener en cuenta el efecto burbuja podría mejorar las estimaciones sobre el deshielo de los glaciares submarinos y prever mejor su contracción a medida que se calientan los océanos.

Popping Bubbles Make Glaciers Melt Faster

by Erin Martin-Jones 25 October 202328 November 2023

Accounting for the newfound bubble effect could improve estimates of how sea-terminating glaciers melt underwater—and better anticipate their shrinkage as oceans warm.
