Antarctica’s Ice Melt Tipping Point Revealed – Study Shows Stunning Effects on Rising Sea Levels

by

Boston, MA – A new study conducted by the British Antarctic Survey reveals that warmer seawater may be melting ice sheets in Antarctica faster than previously believed. The study, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, indicates that the long reach of warming water under the ice may contribute more significantly to melting than current computer models predict. This accelerated melting of ice sheets could lead to increased flooding in coastal communities along the U.S. East …
