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. ....

Antarctic ice-sheet melting to lift sea level higher than thought, Harvard study says

Global sea level rise associated with the possible collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has been significantly underestimated in previous studies, meaning sea level in a warming world will be greater than anticipated, according to a new study from Harvard researchers.
The report, published in
Science Advances, features new calculations for what researchers refer to as a water expulsion mechanism. This occurs when the solid bedrock the West Antarctic Ice Sheet sits on rebounds upward as the ice melts and the total weight of the ice sheet decreases. The bedrock sits below sea level so when it lifts, it pushes water from the surrounding area into the ocean, adding to global sea level rise. ....

Sea levels could rise by 13ft if West Antarctica Ice Sheet collapses


Over 1,000 years sea levels could rise by 10ft if the Antarctic ice sheet melts 
Researchers monitored the movement of bedrock in the Earth s mantle layer
They found that slow moving bedrock would push more water into the ocean
This would happen as the ice melted causing bedrock under the ice to bounce  
This process would add another 3ft on to global sea level increases by 3020 ....
