Little-studied Antarctic basin could raise sea levels
Original: Little-studied Antarctic basin could raise sea levels, but melt timing remains unknown
Researchers are warning about a poorly studied basin in Antarctica that could contribute to global sea level rise. The key uncertainty is timing: while the basin's ice is vulnerable to melting, scientists cannot yet say how quickly that would happen. The finding highlights gaps in knowledge about remote parts of the Antarctic ice sheet and the risks they pose to coastal communities worldwide.
Why now: New coverage of a potentially significant but poorly understood source of future sea level rise
