Professor Tedesco To Study Mysteries Of Supraglacial Lakes In Greenland
Supraglacial lakes are pools of liquid water that collect on the surfaces of glaciers during summer months as a consequence of melting. Because of the huge pressure created by the water over the ice, they can empty out in a matter of hours. Dr. Marco Tedesco, City College Assistant Professor of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS), wants to find out how much water these lakes store and where it goes.
