...the world’s widest glacier and roughly the size of Florida.
It’s also Antarctica’s most vulnerable and unstable glacier, in large part because the land on which it sits slopes downward, allowing ocean waters to eat away at its ice."

...not all the #ice will return.👈
“The impacts of Antarctic sea ice staying low for over twenty years would be profound, including on local and global weather,” #LouiseSime, a co-author on the #BAS [#BritishAntarcticSurvey] study, said in a statement."

"....we have solid observations of what is going on.”
"In a separate study, also published Monday, researchers from the #BritishAntarcticSurvey looked at the reasons for the record low levels of sea ice surrounding Antarctica last year...used #ClimateModels to predict the potential speed of recovery from such extreme sea ice loss and found that 👉even after two decades,...

NEW STUDY: "#Ocean water is pushing miles beneath #Antarctica’s “#DoomsdayGlacier,” making it more vulnerable to melting than previously thought, according to new research which used radar data from space to perform an X-ray of the crucial glacier."
"...scientists have estimated 👉its complete collapse could ultimately lead to around 10 feet [3 meters]of sea level rise👈 — a...

Mangroves: we used freely-available satellite images to track climate-resilient forests
"Satellites equipped with radar or specialised sensors can measure the height and structure of forests... Satellite images can also help engage local people in restoration efforts and... help scientists map changes along the coast and assess how vulnerable mangroves might be."
