Tiny Cracks, Global Impact: MIT Uncovers How Microscopic Ice Defects Shape Glaciers


MIT researchers have developed a new model to predict glacier flow by studying microscopic defects in ice, revealing significant variations in how ice responds to environmental stresses. This model helps better predict the rate of sea-level rise by capturing the nuanced behaviors of ice sheets, p
