Antarctic ice shelves face collapse, extreme conditions make ice shelves more vulnerable

Antarctic ice shelves at risk of collapse, extreme atmospheric conditions make Antarctic ice shelves more vulnerable
China News, April 15th, Springer Nature's open-access professional academic journal recently published a climate change research paper pointing out that between 2000 and 2020, the iceberg disintegration events surrounding the Larsen Ice Shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula have 60% are caused by extreme atmospheric conditions, and the study argues that the same process could put the Larsen C ice shelf at risk of collapse under projected future warming.
