The strait’s status in turn affected ocean currents, which affected the rate of ice sheet melting during the last glacial period.

Our theory links an external climate-driven process, the melting of the ice sheet, and earthquakes.

Whether acceleration of melting from the Greenland Ice Sheet will continue, he added, is a big question mark.

他补充道，格林兰冰盖是否会继续加速融化还是一个大问号。

In fact, another recent study posted in Science, concluded that polar ice sheet melting has been massively overestimated.

This means that we can expect more than the one-meter sea level rise projected for 2100, a fact that the rapid melting of the Greenland ice sheet, as well as strong indications that the western part of the Antarctic ice sheet is also melting, strongly support.

Over the next four days we observe independent scientists working to understand why the ice sheet is melting so rapidly.
