Little-known Antarctic basin flagged as key to sea level rise
Original: This little-known Antarctic basin could reshape sea levels. Scientists say it needs to be studied
Researchers led by the University of South Florida say a poorly studied Antarctic basin could have an outsized influence on future global sea levels. The team argues that the basin's ice and ocean dynamics remain poorly understood and that targeted scientific study is urgently needed to assess how much ice it could release into the ocean.
Why now: New research is highlighting the basin's potential to drive major sea level rise.
