Antarctica's Melting Ice Reveals Potential Volcanic Threats to Global Stability
1 references
- Melting Antarctic ice may lead to volcanic eruptions, affecting global climate stability.
- Study links ice melt with potential volcanic feedback loops under Antarctica.
- Reduced ice pressure allows magma expansion, raising future eruption chances.
- Subglacial eruptions erode ice sheets from below, worsening the ice loss.
- Feedback loops between ice melt and eruptions could fast-track sea-level rise.
- Volcanic activity may persist for centuries, complicating climate modeling.
- Study urges including volcanic factors in models for accurate climate predictions.
