The West Antarctica Ice Sheet contains enough ice to raise global sea level by 11 feet, but a new study finds its collapse isn't inevitable.
The runaway collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet - which would trigger catastrophic sea level rise - is not "inevitable", scientists say.
New research finds that ice-sheet-wide collapse in West Antarctica isn’t inevitable: the pace of ice loss varies according to regional differences in atmosphere and ocean circulation.
The runaway collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet -- which would trigger catastrophic sea level rise -- is not "inevitable", scientists said Monday following research that tracked the region's recent response to climate change.
