Measurements from ‘lost’ Seaglider offer new insights into Antarctic ice melting

New research reveals for the first time how a major Antarctic ice shelf has been subjected to increased melting by warming ocean waters over the last four decades. Scientists say the study — the result of their autonomous Seaglider getting accidentally stuck underneath the Ross Ice Shelf — suggests this will likely only increase further as climate change drives continued ocean warming.
