Gravity Data Reveal Unexpected Antarctic Ice Variations

Assistant Professor and Byrd Center member Lei Wang's research was recently highlighted in EOS: Gravity Data Reveal Unexpected Antarctic Ice Variations.

Lei Wang will be presenting this research at AGU Fall 2020.


Icebergs near Greenland form from ice that has broken off--or calved--from glaciers on the island.
