West Antarctic Glacier Collapse Unstoppable

Environment News Service: A rapidly melting section of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet appears to be in irreversible decline, with nothing to stop the entire glacial basin from disappearing into the sea, according to researchers at NASA and the University of California, Irvine. The study presents multiple lines of evidence, incorporating 40 years of observations that indicate the glaciers in the Amundsen Sea sector of West Antarctica "have passed the point of no return," warns glaciologist and lead author glaciologist Eric...

National Science Foundation- (NSF) funded researchers at the University of Washington have concluded that Antarctica's fast-moving Thwaites Glacier will likely disappear in a matter of centuries, potentially raising sea level by more than a half-a-meter (two feet).
'Past The Point Of No Return:' An Antarctic Ice Sheet Slow Collapse

Collapse of Antarctic glaciers seems to be unstoppable

New Scientist: Parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet are already collapsing and probably can't be saved. Two independent studies suggest that several glaciers have gone past the point of no return, dooming them to fall into the sea and cause several metres of sea level rise. However the collapse will take centuries. "A large sector of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has gone into irreversible retreat," says Eric Rignot of the University of California at Irvine, who led one of the studies. "We've gone beyond the...
