科学家修改冰川流动方程式,表明由于冰雪移动的变化,海平面上升速度放慢。 Scientists revise glacier flow equation, suggesting slower sea-level rise due to ice movement changes.

科学家更新了描述冰川中温带冰流如何流动的方程式,发现压力指数值为1.0,而不是原先假定的3或4。 Scientists have updated the equation describing how temperate ice in glaciers flows, finding that the stress exponent value is 1.0 instead of the previously assumed 3 or 4. 这一变化表明,受压力的冰川流动速度增长较慢,可能导致对海平面上升的预测减少。 This change suggests a slower increase in glacier flow speed under stress, potentially leading to reduced forecasts of sea-level rise. 研究报告发表在《科学》上,其中涉及使用一种模拟冰川力量的9英尺高的专用机器进行实验。 The study, published in Science, involved experiments using a specialized 9-foot-tall machine simulating glacial forces.
