East Antarctic ice sheet may stabilize under warming
Original: Atmospheric stabilization of the East Antarctic ice sheet under warming
New research published in Nature suggests the East Antarctic ice sheet may reach a degree of atmospheric stabilization under continued warming, limiting some projected ice loss in the short term. The finding is drawing attention because East Antarctica holds enough ice to raise sea levels by many meters, and its behavior under climate change remains one of the biggest uncertainties in sea level projections.
Why now: A new Nature study on the world's largest ice sheet has just been released, and its implications for sea level rise are highly consequential.
