NASA hosted a media teleconference to discuss new research results on the stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and its potential contribution to future sea level rise.
The news comes as U.S. and U.K. scientists are in the process of teaming up for an ambitious joint research mission focusing on the processes shaping Thwaites and its potential contributions to sea - level rise.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory held a press conference to discuss the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and its potential contribution to future sea level rise.
Rapid sea - level rise from these processes is limited to those regions where the bed of the ice sheet is well below sea level and thus capable of feeding ice shelves or directly calving icebergs rapidly, but this still represents notable potential contributions to sea - level rise, including the deep fjords in Greenland (roughly 0.5 m; Bindschadler et al., 2013), parts of the East Antarctic ice sheet (perhaps as much as 20 m; Fretwell et al., 2013), and especially parts of the West Antarctic ice sheet (just over 3 m; Bamber et al., 2009).
«Given the large variability in discharge and SMB observed within the past decade and the potential for unaccounted positive feedback within the ice - climate system, however, the contribution of GrIS discharge to future sea level rise remains highly uncertain.»
Although thermal expansion has been projected to contribute the most to sea level rise, the potential of large contributions from the Antarctic Ice Sheet has added significant uncertainty to predictions.
