Two new papers have been released that provide insight into the effects of climate change. One reveals the future of ocean levels and the other the warning sign of rising seas.
After the GRACE mission was launched, it became little easier to estimate the volume of ice present in Antarctica and Greenland. Since 2003, data is being collected by it and it is being noticed that the ice sheets are shrinking.
The authors of the paper have found that the warming of climate has put a great effect on ice-sheets. They made use of data derived other than that from GRACE to see the behavior of ice-sheets. Also, they carried put statistical analysis of data from GRACE.
It was found the ice-sheets were shrinking. Further, the findings avowed that the ice behavior was steady and possibly an acceleration of 10 Gigatonnes (Gt) a year is expected to be recorded. They focused on report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that allows predicting what could be seen by the end of century.
Moreover, as suggested by authors, there has not been much rise in sea level triggered by the carbon emissions. However, it was concluded that climate is heading towards a change in which 10m rise in sea levels couldn't be avoided.
