By the same token, if emissions continue on the current trajectory, Antarctic ice loss could lead to more future sea level rise than previously thought.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                                    The finding is significant because the Antarctic Ice Sheet is the largest ice mass on Earth, and the biggest uncertainty in predicting future sea levels is how this ice will respond to climate change.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With nearly 700 million people living in coastal areas and the potential cost of sea-level rise reaching trillions of dollars by the end of the century, understanding the domino effect of Antarctic ice melt is crucial,&#8221; said lead author Natalya Gomez, an Associate Professor in McGill&#8217;s Department of Earth and Planetary <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Science<\/a>s and Canada Research Chair in Ice sheet\u2014Sea level interactions.<\/p>\n<p>The study focuses on how the ice sheet interacts with the earth beneath, and how that dynamic is influenced by carbon-emission levels. This relationship has not been thoroughly explored in previous studies, the researchers said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our findings show that while some sea level rise is inevitable, swift and substantive action to lower emissions could prevent some of the most destructive impacts of climate change, particularly for coastal communities,&#8221; Gomez said.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rising_seas_and_natures_double-edged_sword\"><\/span>Rising seas and nature&#8217;s double-edged sword<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As ice melts, its weight decreases, causing the land beneath it to rise like an expanding sponge. The researchers say this process, called post-glacial uplift, can be a double-edged sword.<\/p>\n<p>If emissions drop quickly, limiting global warming, post-glacial uplift can act as a natural brake on ice-mass loss. It lifts the ice up, slowing the flow of ice from land to ocean<i>.<\/i> The study found this dynamic can reduce Antarctica&#8217;s contribution to sea- level rise by up to 40 percent.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-gallery lightGallery\">\n<div data-thumb=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/tmb\/2024\/study-yields-new-insig-1.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/scx2.b-cdn.net\/gfx\/news\/hires\/2024\/study-yields-new-insig-1.jpg\" data-sub-html=\"The field team used specialized instruments from the ANET-POLENET project that measure Antarctica's ground motion.

Their model used geophysical field measurements from the U.S. ANET-POLENET project, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/polenet.org\/a-net\/\">which had pioneered<\/a> large-scale deployments of sensitive instruments to record the bedrock uplift and seismic signals across large expanses of Antarctica. These extensive field measurements were essential for characterizing the three-dimensional variations of the Antarctic mantle incorporated in the study.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our 3D model peels back Earth&#8217;s layers like an onion, revealing dramatic variations in thickness and consistency of the mantle below. This knowledge helps us better predict how different areas will respond to melting,&#8221; said co-author Maryam Yousefi, a geodesist at Natural Resources Canada and previously a Postdoctoral Fellow at McGill and Penn State universities.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the first model to capture the relationship between Antarctica&#8217;s ice and the underlying earth in such detail, she added.<\/p>\n<p>Notes Rob DeConto, a co-author and glaciologist at the University of Massachusetts, &#8220;This study marks a breakthrough in our ability to better predict the impacts of climate change on rising seas and to inform effective environmental policy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Global_impacts\"><\/span>Global impacts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The findings, published in <i>Science Advances<\/i>, highlight the inequalities of climate change, the scholars noted.
