A team of scientists from the UK are to fit sat-nav censors to Greenland’s icecap in a bid to decipher how icebergs are formed. The researchers will fly helicopters over the country’s rapidly decreasing glaciers and drop off the low-power wi-fi transmitters so the path and shape of the ice can be tracked. The forming of icebergs has traditionally be hard to measure as the nodes usually stop working or get misplaced as the ice crumbles away. These transceivers will however continue to work, even if part of the ice sheet they are on breaks away. Glaciers in Greenland are thought to ... Full Story
