Two new studies offer results that show more\u0026nbsp;warm seawater than previously thought\u0026nbsp;eroding grounding lines, the divider\u0026nbsp;between the glacial ice and where it rests on land and ocean. \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/tc.copernicus.org\/articles\/16\/451\/2022\/\u0022\u003EOne\u003C\/a\u003E of those studies was led by \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/eas.gatech.edu\/people\/robel-dr-alexander\u0022\u003EAlexander Robel\u003C\/a\u003E, assistant professor in the \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/eas.gatech.edu\u0022\u003ESchool of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences\u003C\/a\u003E, whose research team also found that warm seawater may be extending much farther past the grounding lines into the interior of glacial\u0026nbsp;ice sheets.
