ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

Antarctic Ice Sheet Losing Mass
University of Colorado at Boulder researchers used data from a pair of NASA satellites orbiting Earth in tandem to determine that the Antarctic ice sheet, which harbors 90 percent of Earth's ice, has lost significant mass in recent years.

The team used measurements taken with the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment, or GRACE, to conclude the Antarctic ice sheet is losing up to 36 cubic miles of ice, or 152 cubic kilometers, annually. By comparison, the city of Los Angeles uses about 1 cubic mile of fresh water annually.

The jazz ensembles from the CU-Boulder College of Music enjoy this lack of predictability as part of their fascination with jazz. Learn more.
