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> Tue, 05 Feb 2019 16:39:50 +0000 katherine.gombay@mcgill.ca 139741 at /newsroom Sébastien Jodoin /newsroom/sebastien-jodoin Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:59:44 +0000 laurie.devine@mcgill.ca 24139 at /newsroom
