Robots <\/strong>will measure Antarctic ice melt: <\/strong>NASA scientists are using autonomous underwater robots to gather crucial data on ice melt rates and their potential impact on global sea levels, CNN<\/a> reported last week. These robots, part of the IceNode<\/a> project, will explore the depths beneath Antarctica\u2019s ice shelves where the most rapid melting occurs due to warm ocean water. A prototype was tested in the Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska last March.<\/p>\n

The details:<\/strong> The IceNode robots, designed by NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will be deployed in Antarctica to monitor the grounding line, where glaciers meet the ocean. The robots, equipped with sensors, will attach to the ice and collect data over extended periods, providing insights into the melting processes and contributing to more accurate sea level rise projections.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new edge: <\/strong>Unlike previous robots like Icefin<\/a>, which required tethers and propulsion systems, IceNode robots are entirely autonomous. They will ride ocean currents to their destinations and operate for up to a year, capturing seasonal data. Once their mission is complete, they will surface and transmit the collected data via satellite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
