|a Theory has suggested that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may be inherently unstable. Recent
observations lend weight to this hypothesis. We reassess the potential contribution to
eustatic and regional sea level from a rapid collapse of the ice sheet and find that previous
assessments have substantially overestimated its likely primary contribution. We obtain a value
for the global, eustatic sea-level rise contribution of about 3.3 meters, with important
regional variations. The maximum increase is concentrated along the Pacific and Atlantic
seaboard of the United States, where the value is about 25% greater than the global mean,
even for the case of a partial collapse. |
