Eurasian Ice Sheet retreated rapidly during the last deglaciation, highlighting the vulnerability of flat-bedded ice sheets and a potential for rapid retreat due to climate change.
The team's findings, reported in the journal, indicate that the ice sheet underwent periodic rapid retreat, at speeds ranging from 50 to 600 meters per day. This retreat rate is considerably faster than any recorded satellite observations or similar landforms in
ice sheets. Understanding how ice sheets reacted during past periods of climate change or warming is crucial for developing accurate computer models that can predict future ice sheets and sea-level changes.According to the recent study, it appears that episodes of rapid ice-sheet retreat, which may last for only brief periods , can be triggered by specific mechanisms. The seafloor landforms identified in the research provide insight into how such rapid retreats occur. The team led by Dr.
