This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"Climate change is causing glaciers to melt at an unprecedented rate Although tracking this melting is essential to monitor changing sea levels and ocean conditions However, conducting research on glaciers can be extremely dangerous Huge icebergs can spontaneously break off, crashing into the surrounding water making glacier-front measurements risky But researchers have proposed a potential solution tuning into bubble noise Glacier ice contains thousands of tiny air bubbles As ice along the sea margin melts, the bubbles are released into the ocean Each released bubble produces a characteristic sound which can be recorded with underwater microphones The faster the ice melts, the greater the bubble noise By carefully analyzing the acoustic properties of this noise scientists can more safely track planetary changes O. Glowacki, et al. The Intensity, Directionality, and Statistics of Underwater Noise From Melting Icebergs..."
The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
