|a There is widespread concern that the West
Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), which is characterized
by extensive marine-based sectors
(1), may be prone to collapse in a warming
world. The recent Fourth Assessment Report of
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) (2) estimated that this collapse would lead
to a sea-level rise of ~5 m. This estimate
is derived by converting the total volume
of all grounded portions of WAIS into
water, filling in any topographic holes
associated with marine-based sectors,
and spreading the remaining water uniformly
(i.e., eustatically) across the oceans
(3). Although the appropriate effective
eustatic value (EEV) forWAIS collapse
is uncertain (e.g., will non–marine-based
sectors vanish?), we show that, whatever
the value, sea-level changes at
some coastal sites will be significantly
higher (or, less commonly, lower) than
the EEV. |
