Ice Streams Surge Forward, Driven by Tiny Ice Quakes!

Ice Streams Surge Forward, Driven by Tiny Ice Quakes! In Brief The great ice streams of the Antarctic and Greenland are like frozen rivers, carrying ice from the massive inland ice sheets to the sea – and a change in their dynamics will contribute significantly to sea-level rise. In order to estimate just how much
