Environmental News Network: As the largest single chunk of melting snow and ice in the world, the massive ice sheet that covers about 80 percent of Greenland is recognized as the biggest potential contributor to rising sea levels due to glacial meltwater. Until now, however, scientists attention has mostly focused on the ice sheets aquamarine lakes bodies of meltwater that tend to abruptly drain and on monster chunks of ice that slide into the ocean to become icebergs. But a new UCLA-led study reveals a vast network...

Nature World: Antarctica's ice discharge could become a major contributor to the global sea level rise within this century, adding up to an extra 37 centimeters, which is more so than previously thought, according to a new study. "If greenhouse gases continue to rise as before, ice discharge from Antarctica could raise the global ocean by an additional one to 37 centimeters in this century already," lead author Anders Levermann, of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, said in a statement. "Now...
