Tomorrow: Join us on Twitter for a Live Q&A on Greenland Ice Sheet Modeling
#IceSheetChat

Tomorrow, Thursday 10/23 at 11am MDT, 1pm EDT, sign in to Twitter to join in the conversation about the Greenland Ice Sheet, climate change and sea level rise with Los Alamos National Lab's Ice Sheet Modeling Team.
A few points the Team will address on Thursday include:

The first direct observations of multiple components of the plumbing system beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet and how it relates to ice flow.
How the team identified when a clear climate change signal in Greenland surface conditions, due to human influence, should emerge from natural variability.
The modeling of sea level rise from Greenland melting over next 200 years: ~3 inches but unresolved processes could increase this number.
Why reversing the climate will not stop sea level rise - Most of sea level rise from ice sheets is "committed" long before it happens.
And the upcoming public release of two new ice sheet models from the LANL Ice Sheet Team.
