This project investigates the presence of melt water beneath the Greenland ice sheet, which affects ice flow and climate response. It aims to map the extent of this water and analyze its impact using advanced radar techniques and ice-core data to improve climate models and explore the potential for life under the ice.
Recent analysis of radar-depth sounder data has shown that many areas of the Greenland ice sheet have melt water under the base.
The extent of the wet base and distribution of melt water are poorly known.
Also lakes under the ice have not been discovered in contrast with those in Antarctica.
The effect of the water beneath the ice, however, is well documented: it lubricates the bed and removes the friction between the basal ice and underlying bedrock.
The ice with a wet bed flows faster, reacts…
