Phys.org  September 22, 2021 The loss of melting ice from land masses such as Greenland and Antarctica are causing the planet’s crust to warp slightly, even in spots more than 1,000 kilometres from the ice loss. A team of researchers in the US (Harvard University, Columbia University) analyzed satellite data on melt from 2003 to 2018 and studied changes in Earth’s crust to measure the shifting of the crust horizontally. They found that in some places the crust was moving more horizontally than it was lifting. They demonstrated that mass changes in the Greenland Ice Sheet and high latitude glacier […]
