Those attentive to science news developments--and many members of the
general public--will have heard mention this week of rising sea levels.
The main reason was publication yesterday by
Science magazine
of two major research articles, along with a news summary and
commentary. The one getting most of the attention is from a team led by
Andrew Shepherd of Leeds University in the UK and is called "
A Reconciled Estimate of Ice-Sheet Mass Balance."
A second article, by Ian Joughin and colleagues delves into the
dynamics of how the great Greenland and Antarctic sheets melt and
disintegrate as warm waters intrude.
