Sustained ocean cooling insufficient to reverse sea level rise from Antarctica

A. Alevropoulos-borrill, N. R. Golledge, et al.

This groundbreaking research by Alanna Alevropoulos-Borrill and colleagues delves into the accelerating global mean sea level rise driven by the Amundsen Sea Embayment. The study reveals that while reducing ocean-driven melting is vital to limit ice loss, significant ice accumulation over centuries is equally crucial to reverse damage and mitigate the impacts on global sea levels.
