Glacier flow at the southern Antarctic Peninsula has increased since the 1990s, but a new study has found the change to be only a third of what was recently reported.
An international team of researchers, led by the UK Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling at the University of Leeds, is the first to map the change in ice speed. The team collated measurements recorded by five different satellites to track changes in the speed of more than 30 glaciers since 1992.
The findings, published today in Geophysical Research Letters, represent the first detailed assessment of changing glacier flow in Western Palmer Land — the southwestern corner of the Antarctic Peninsula.
The new Leeds-led research calls into question a recent study from the University of Bristol that reported a 45 cubic kilometres per year increase in ice loss from the sector. The Leeds research found the increase to be three times smaller.

Algore is deeply saddened.
‘Settled science’ debunked once again.
Unexpected! /sarc
Props to University of Leeds, for throwing a brown flag and calling BS on a “questionable” report from another school in merry olde england.
all the more reason for President Trump to pull out of this scam:
2 May: The Hill: Timothy Cama: White House leaning toward exiting Paris climate pact
Trump could announce as soon as next week his plans to pull out. The Huffington Post and New York Times reported on the developments earlier Tuesday...
The administration is also worried that staying in the accord would give environmentalists a legal argument to prevent Trump from repealing climate regulations like the Clean Power Plan...

Bill Nye must be down there with the mother of all ice makers.
This’ll be on page one of the NYT. LAT, WAcomPost, and lead story on ABCNNBCBS and NPR...< /sarc >
