PASADENA, Calif., Aug. 18 (UPI) -- Researchers conducting a NASA-funded study say they have used radar data to create the first complete map of the speed and direction of ice flow in Antarctica.
Created using radar observations from a large number of international satellites, the map shows glaciers flowing thousands of miles from the continent's deep interior to its coast -- and will be critical for tracking future sea-level increases from climate change, a release from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., said Thursday.
