Antarctic study identifies melting ice sheet's role in sea level rise Edinburgh UK (SPX) Feb 04, 2016 - Loss of ice in Antarctica caused by a warming ocean could raise global sea levels by three metres, research suggests. Scientists carrying out fieldwork in the region have assessed the landscape to determine how the West Antarctic ice sheet might respond to increasing global temperatures. In the first study of its kind, researchers were able to gauge how levels of ice covering the land have ... morehttp://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Antarctic_study_identifies_melting_ice_sheets_role_in_sea_level_rise_999.html
