🧊 What’s happening to Antarctica’s glaciers? A new study led by UC Irvine and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientists analyzed three decades of satellite observations to track changes across Antarctica’s entire coastline. The findings revealed that more than three-quarters of Antarctica’s coast-reaching glaciers remain relatively stable, while roughly one-quarter are undergoing aggressive melting, with vulnerable regions losing ice at a rate equal to the size of Greater Los Angeles every three years. The research combined data from an international network of government and commercial satellites, demonstrating how decades of Earth observation can help scientists better understand the impacts of climate change in one of the planet’s most remote regions.
