Published in 'Nature Communications' on Tuesday, a study into Greenland's huge northern glaciers found that melting of ice shelves may lift the sea levels by 2.1 meters, nearly 7 feet if the glaciers were to break down completely.
Researchers have discovered a process that can contribute to the melting of ice shelves in the Antarctic. An international team of scientists found that adjacent ice shelves play a role in causing instability in others downstream.
Washington [US], August 14 (ANI): Researchers have warned that Antarctica's ice shelves may be melting at an accelerated rate, which could eventually contribute to a more rapid sea level rise.
