A mathematical model has shown for the first time how climate change
will increase glacial erosion by speeding up movement of the icy giants.
Using
New Zealand's Franz Josef Glacier as a model, a team of international
scientists confirmed a theoretical model first proposed in the 1970s by
demonstrating that the rate of glacial erosion was proportional to the
square of the glacier's speed.
