WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- American and Dutch scientists found that yearly ice mass loss in Antarctica increased sixfold in the past 40 years. The study published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed the accelerated melting elevated global sea levels more...
Antarctica(南极洲)’s melting ice, which has caused global se a levels to rise by at least 13.8 millimeters over the past 40 years, was thought to primarily come from the unstable West Antarctic Ice Sheet(WAIS). Now, scientists have found that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS)—considere...
