Melting Ice Sheets Altering Earth's Rotation

Melting Ice Sheets Altering Earth's Rotation

Scientists have observed that the redistribution of mass from ice to water is influencing Earth's moment of inertia, which in turn affects its rotation. This phenomenon underscores the far-reaching consequences of glacial melt on our planet's geophysical properties.
