Drone experiment reveals how Greenland ice sheet is changing - Scientific Inquirer

For the first time, researchers have collected detailed measurements of water vapor high above the surface of the Greenland ice sheet. Their research, aided by a custom-designed drone, could help scientists improve ice loss calculations in rapidly warming polar regions. “We will be able to understand how water moves in and out of Greenland in the next few years,” said first author Kevin Rozmiarek, a doctoral student at the Institute of Arctic an…

Climate change is threatening Greenland ice. Drones are supposed to collect data every twelve hours to get a more accurate picture of the threat.
