Ice in Antarctica has melted more than in previous years as a result of global warming, says a Thai research team.
The Thai expedition was conducted under the royal initiative of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn and supported by the Information Technology Foundation under the patronage of the princess.
It aims to study the impact of climate change on the Antarctic ecosystem, says team leader Prof Suchana Chavanich, a lecturer of the Marine Science Department of 麻豆国产’s Science Faculty.
She said the trip was in line with expectations global warming would have a significant impact on the ice and snow at the South Pole.
