New Model Details Sub-Ice Processes Driving West Antarctic Rebound

University of Colorado Boulder scientists have created a highly detailed 3D model of the processes beneath the rapidly melting West Antarctic ice sheet. Utilizing satellite data, seismic information, and supercomputing, the research explains the unexpectedly fast rebound and rise of the Earth's crust below the ice. This phenomenon is attributed to significant ice loss combined with a weak upper mantle, enhancing understanding of glacial melt impacts.
