The scientists believe that the Antarctic would now become the biggest factor in sea level rise. BERLIN, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- Within this century, ice melting in the Antarctic alone could cause the global sea level to rise up to three times as much as it did in the entire last century,...
In the "the longest-ever assessment" of Antarctica's ice mass, scientists are reporting a rapid increase in melting — a six-fold increase in yearly Antarctic ice mass loss between 1979 and 2017. The study, published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was a ...
"This means that meltwater from the Antarctic ice sheet won't just raise global sea levels, but might also amplify climate changes around the world. Some parts of the north Atlantic may end up with warmer air temperatures as a consequence of part of Antarctica melting." The team used its ...

Helen Fricker, a glaciologist (冰川学家) in California, agrees. “We need to monitor the entire Antarctica and we just can’t do that without international cooperation.” 答案 unassailable 结果二 题目 Antarctica(南极洲)'s melting ice, which has caused global sea levels to rise by at least...

"Is ice melting in Antarctica alarming?" reads the post. "Nope, in fact the very opposite is happening!!! Satellite measurements make it clear, the Antarctic ice plates have become even larger. The ice has risen by 5305 km2, or 661 gig tonnes of ice (sic)." The post...
The article discusses a study by a team of scientists from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute and published in the periodical "Nature Geoscience" which revealed that expansion of sea ice in Antarctica may be the result of the melting of its ice shelves....
This would cause more melting in the polar regions. Already, the loss of ice from ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland, as well as mountain glaciers, is accelerating as a consequence of continued warming of the air and the ocean. With the predicted level of warming, a significant amount ...
