Presentation: Come Ice or High Water: How Will Global Warming Affect Antarctic Ice Sheets and Sea Levels?
In parts of Antarctica, rates of measured climate warming are the highest anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere – in another part, there has been a cooling. How are we to interpret such a complex pattern of climate change, and what are the implications for the future of the Last Continent? The latest...
