Scientists revise glacier flow equation, suggesting slower sea-level rise due to ice movement changes.
Scientists have updated the equation describing how temperate ice in glaciers flows, finding that the stress exponent value is 1.0 instead of the previously assumed 3 or 4.
This change suggests a slower increase in glacier flow speed under stress, potentially leading to reduced forecasts of sea-level rise.
The study, published in Science, involved experiments using a specialized 9-foot-tall machine simulating glacial forces.
