Holes in Greenland ice sheet are larger than previously thought

Holes that carry surface meltwater to the base of the Greenland ice sheet, called moulins, are much larger than previously thought, according to a new study based on observation and first-hand exploration by a team including a geologist from the University of Arkansas. The extra volume could influence the stability of the Greenland ice sheet and how quickly it slides toward the sea.
