2005, ‘Ice-sheet and sea-level changes
Future sea-level rise is an important issue related to the continuing buildup of at-mospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, with the potential to raise sea level È70 meters if completely melted, dominate uncertainties in projected sea-level change. Freshwater...
