Quantifying the Rapid Melt of the Greenland Ice Sheet
In the face of global warming, understanding the behavior of polar ice sheets has taken on new urgency. The Greenland ice sheet, the second-largest body of ice on the planet after the Antarctic ice sheet, plays a critical role in this context, contributing greatly to rising sea levels. In fact, if the entire Greenland ice sheet were to melt away it could contribute to a global sea level ...

What is a Spectrometer?
In the broadest sense a spectrometer is any instrument that is used to measure the variation of a physical characteristic over a given range; i.e. a spectrum. This could be a mass-to-charge ratio spectrum in the case of a mass spectrometer, the variation of nuclear resonant frequencies in an NMR spectrometer or the change in the absorption and emission of light with wavelength in an optical ...
