The results of the study, which was published recently in the
Geophysical Research Letters journal, achieved by researchers from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego and their collaborators will help enhance the comprehensive knowledge of the processes forcing change in Antarctica and result in improved predictions of sea-level rise.
The research was financially supported by NASA, with further support from the Rhodium Group’s Climate Impact Laboratory, a consortium of leading research institutions analyzing the threats of climate change.
