New Study Reveals Glaciers Melting Faster Due To Daily Weather Extremes

A new study indicates that accounting for daily weather variability provides a more accurate estimation of glacier melt, suggesting that glaciers worldwide are losing ice at a faster rate than previously calculated. Researchers found that simulations incorporating daily weather patterns project greater ice loss by the end of the century and a higher contribution to global sea-level rise.
