Robert DeConto and David Pollard - climate scientists from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Pennsylvania State University, respectively - used a three -
dimensional ice sheet model to reconstruct the Earth as it looked during the Pliocene 3 million years ago.
The revised estimate for sea - level rise comes from including new processes in the 3 -
dimensional ice sheet model, and testing them against past episodes of high sea - levels and ice retreat.
We refer to both the one -
dimensional ice sheet modelling of de Boer et al. [46], which was used to calculate sea level for the entire Cenozoic era, and the three - dimensional ice sheet model of Bintanja et al. [59], which was used for simulations of the past million years.
