The researchers believe that the interaction of the ocean beneath the ice shelf and melting of the ice shelf is an important variable that should be incorporated into
the sea level rise models of global warming.
To fill in the holes in
the sea level rise models, the researchers used a sensor that measures seismic waves and tracked the glacier calving.
Scientists have no idea how to put the different types of calving into
a sea level rise model, O'Neel told OurAmazingPlanet.

About 13 million Americans may be exposed to the effects of flooding by the year 2100 according to a new study that used futuristic population and
sea level rise models.
