Paleoclimatic Evidence for Future Ice-Sheet Instability and Rapid Sea-Level Rise
Sea-level rise from melting of polar ice sheets is one of the largest potential threats of future climate change. Polar warming by the year 2100 may reach levels similar to those of 130,000 to 127,000 years ago that were associated with sea levels several meters above modern levels; both the Greenla...
