GPS Can Now Measure Ice Melt, Change In Greenland Over Months Rather Than YearsColumbus OH (SPX) Jul 26, 2012 Researchers have found a way to use GPS to measure short-term changes in the rate of ice loss on Greenland - and reveal a surprising link between the ice and the atmosphere above it. The study, published in the early online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, hints at the potential for GPS to detect many consequences of climate change, including ice loss, the uplift of bedrock, changes in air pressure - and perhaps even sea level rise. The team, led by earth scientists ... read more |
