April 30 (UPI) The possible collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which has been associated with global sea-level rise, has been significantly underestimated, according to a new study from Harvard researchers.
The report, published Friday in Science Advances, demonstrates that the sea level rise in a warming world could be greater than anticipated.

The study focuses on new calculations for a water expulsion mechanism of the ice sheet. This occurs when the solid bedrock of the sheet sits below sea level, lifts up as ice melts and pushes water from the surrounding area into the ocean.
