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 Eric Galbraith /newsroom/eric-galbraith Thu, 19 Dec 2019 19:35:06 +0000 Anonymous 23942 at /newsroom Geophysics could slow Antarctic ice retreat /newsroom/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 15:17:50 +0000 laurie.devine@mcgill.ca 24688 at /newsroom
