In part, because the water from melting ice sheets off Greenland and in the Antarctic will cause extreme weather and unpredictable temperatures around the globe. A study published today in <i>Nature</i> is the first to simulate the effects, under current climate policies, that the two melting ice sheets will have on ocean temperatures and circulation patterns as well as on air temperatures by the year 2100.</p> <p><b>Consequences for</b><b> ocean circulation and water and air temperatures</b></p> Wed, 06 Feb 2019 18:11:27 +0000 webfull 146118 at /channels /channels/news/geophysics-could-slow-antarctic-ice-retreat-256655 <p> Gravitational effects, variations in Earth structure could damp rise in global sea levels Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:18:01 +0000 webfull 113873 at /channels
