Washington [US]July 15 (ANI): Researchers at the University of Texas Institute of Geophysics (UTIG) and Georgia Tech have developed a methodology that they think decodes why coastal glaciers are shrinking, and in turn, how much of it can be attributed to human-caused climate change. Attributing the role of humans to coastal glaciers – which are melting directly into the ocean – could pave the way for better predictions of sea level rise. The study was published in the journal The Cryosphere. Read Also | Katrina Kaif’s Birthday: From Chikni Chameli To Bang Bang, Kat’s 5 Best Dance Hits That Set The Screen On Fire (Watch Video). So far, scientists have tested the approach only in computer models using simplified glaciers. They found that even modest global warming is causing most glaciers to melt, or retreat. The next step, the researchers say, is for scientists to simulate coastal glaciers from real ice sheets, such as Greenland, which stores enough ice to raise sea levels by about 2

Summary: In children, traumatic brain injury can lead to reduced brain size and cognitive impairment that affects learning, researchers report. Source: Imperial College London Traumatic brain injury can lead to reduced brain size in some children and teens, which could be linked to cognitive problems, a new study suggests. People who are hit hard to the head can suffer brain injuries that result in long-term cognitive problems such as difficulty with memory, concentration, and problem solving. Researchers have been able to study this problem in adults, using brain scans to accurately measure the impact of each injury. However, this is more difficult for children and adolescents to do because their brains grow and change so quickly. In a new study, published in the journal Brain Researchers at Imperial College London and Great Ormond Street Hospital have collected detailed measurements of the brains of normally developing children and used them as a guide to help spot differences betwe
