Moving Ice and Satellites: The Motion of Crevasses in Antarctica
Antarctica is a remote and hostile continent, the study of which is fundamental because of the role it has on oceans and Earth’s climate. Affected by the global warming phenomenon, Antarctica requires a constant monitoring of the status and motion of its ice. This monitoring can be achieved by mea...
