Swiss science seeks answers to climate change in Antarctic ice

Climate models are likely overestimating how much Antarctic ice sheets could contribute to sea level rise. Ice sheet simulations, a recent study showed, don’t fully account for the way supporting bedrock rebounds upward when ice above shrinks. This effect could slow melting by up to 20%.
