Daily Glacier Models Reveal Underestimated Ice Loss During Heatwaves

New research published in Nature Communications indicates that current climate models running on monthly averages significantly underestimate the amount of ice glaciers lose during heatwaves. A day-by-day glacier model projects 5% to 10% more ice loss by 2100, potentially adding up to 1.3 inches of sea level rise, highlighting the need for more granular climate modeling.
