PRESS ASSOCIATION: Academics uncover fresh insights into Greenland Ice Sheet

Description

Belfast scientists have helped to uncover fresh insights into the Greenland Ice Sheet.

The team from Queen’s University Belfast, along with colleagues from the University of Manchester and the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, used reflection seismic surveys to image the structure of the Earth beneath the seafloor off the coast of north-west Greenland.

The study, published in Nature Geoscience, provides the first insight into millions of years of geological history of the north-western Greenland Ice Sheet.
