Finding The Very Bottom Of An Antarctic Glacier
Playing text to speech
Glaciers just seem to be melting all the time and we just talk about the problem and solutions but where is the tacking place? Now, finally, we have a major project where finding the very bottom of a glacier will definitely help us.
Using a robot submarine, researchers have taken the first-ever snapshots of the Antarctic Thwaites glacier's foundations, a step toward better tracking of the ice sheet which is notorious for its contributions to sea-stage upward thrust.
According to the researchers, consisting of those from Georgia Institute of Technology within the US, Thwaites accounts for about four percent of worldwide sea-level upward push, causing worries that a tipping point in its balance can also result in a run-away collapse of the glacier, and enhance sea levels with the aid of as tons as 25 inches.
A unique region of problem, visited by means of the robotic submarine, named Icefin, is a boundary known as the grounding line among where the glacier rests on the water bodies bed and where it floats over water.

The scientists stated that this grounding line is vital to the steadiness of Thwaites Glacier's footing for the reason that farther it recedes, the quicker the ice can flow into the sea, pushing up sea-level.
It has the largest mass of ice on Earth and could make a contribution more and more of sea degree rise over the subsequent one hundred years and past. It's a big supply of uncertainty inside the climate system which is already facing a terrible problem of climate change which is uncertain and quite troubling at the same time.
With this major achievement, we can expect the dedicated scientist team to study, discover all the important details related to this sudden melting of the icy glaciers which may or may not damage us as in the respect of the relationship of humans with the mother nature which is relatively proportional to our doings. If we do bad with nature it will make suffer from its inner wounds just like in the case of Australian Bushfires.
We have made this once peaceful and prosperous planet Earth a diluted and destructive living sphere that is burning on one side and getting melted on the other end.
We have to find a way to lay the foundations of glaciers back in place otherwise the hydraulic balance of our environment will no longer be intact and we may have to pray for lives to mother nature.
