MARC recordSubstantial contribution to sea level rise during the last interglacial from the Greenland ice sheet / Kurt M. Cuffey, Shawn J. Marshall.
| Title: | Substantial contribution to sea level rise during the last interglacial from the Greenland ice sheet / Kurt M. Cuffey, Shawn J. Marshall. |
| Author(s): | Cuffey, Kurt M. Marshall, Shawn J. |
| Date: | 2000. |
| In: | Nature. (2000.), Vol. 404(6778) (2000) |
| Abstract: | During Eemian interglacial, global sea level was at least 3 m higher than now. Today, complete melting of West Antarctic or Greenland ice sheets would probably raise level 6-7 m. Results from Greenland ice cores and modelling suggest that Greenland sheet was much smaller and steeper during Eemian, plausibly contributing c. 5 m to level. So high level then probably included large Greenland contribution, and need not be seen to point to big change in West Antarctic sheet. |
