South American glaciers melting at fastest rate in 350 years
Meltwater from mountain glaciers are causing sea levels to rise faster now than at any time in the last 350 years, new research indicates. Researchers from the universities of Aberystwyth, Exeter and Stockholm looked at longer timescales than usual for their study. They mapped changes in 270 of the largest glaciers between Chile and Argentina since the last global cooling, known as the "Little Ice Age".
