Uncontrollable ice-melt? Uncorking East Antarctica could yield unstoppable sea-level rise, simulations show

This item was filled under Climate
The melting of a rather small ice volume on East Antarctica's shore could trigger a persistent ice discharge into the ocean, resulting in unstoppable sea-level rise for thousands of years to come. These findings are based on computer simulations of the Antarctic ice flow using improved data of the ground profile underneath the ice sheet....
