Home / Education / Planet Press / Articles / How tall are the ice sheets?
The scientists say the two ice sheets combined are losing 500 cubic kilometres of ice into the sea each year, roughly the water volume of Lake Erie in North America! This means that ice-sheet melting has contributed to sea level rise more than previously thought. Luckily these new measurements and super-detailed height maps mean we can track how the ice sheets are growing and shrinking in much more detail than ever before.

Anke Nölscher is a PhD student at the Max Planck Graduate Center with the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany. Her research focus is the direct measurement of total OH reactivity (the total sink of hydroxyl radicals) between biosphere and atmosphere, which remains unexplained to a significant extend especially in forested environments. The poster at EGU General Assembly 2012 presented a newly developed detector, which offers a robust, portable, and less expensive alternative for groups interested in total OH reactivity measurements.

Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Young Scientist Awards / 2012 / Richard Foa Katz
The problems of two-phase flow applied to the migration of magma, in which the two phases react with one another, is formidably difficult. Katz’s 2008 paper in the Journal of Petrology is the first to establish a mathematic framework for modeling both the mechanical and chemical behaviour of the system at tectonic scale.
