Historical Aerial Photos Help Map Antarctic Ice Shelf Melt Providing An “Unambiguous Signal” To Stop Emissions

Historical Aerial Photos Help Map Antarctic Ice Shelf Melt Providing An “Unambiguous Signal” To Stop Emissions

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have found decades-old aerial photos that are helping them better understand the collapse of Antarctic ice shelves. The photos offer an unparalleled dataset that could also improve our ability to predict sea level rise and influence how we approach climate action. On November 28, 1966, an American flight crossed the Antarctic Peninsula south of …
