The Philly airport was dry for several hours this week in the latest major sign that U.S. water infrastructure needs some upgrades.
The collapse of the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica could significantly affect global sea levels. As part of a new $25M research collaboration, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the United Kingdom's Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) announced recently that teams of scientists at U.S. institutions will deploy to Antarctica to gather the data needed to understand whether the glacier could begin to collapse in the next few decades or centuries from now.
Researchers at the University of St Andrews have won two major grants of £438,000 and £540,000 to discover whether the collapse of a huge Antarctic glacier could raise global sea levels by as much as a metre by the end of this century.
