Researchers from Oregon State University find new information on Greenland's ice history, which will help understand future sea level change.
A new study suggests that a warming period more than 400,000 years ago pushed the Greenland ice sheet past its stability threshold, resulting in a nearly complete deglaciation of southern Greenland and raising global sea levels some 4-6 meters.
The study is one of the first to zero in on how the vast Greenland ice sheet responded to warmer temperatures during that period, which were caused by changes in the Earth’s orbit around the sun.
Results of the study, which was funded by the National Science Foundation, are being published this week in the journal Nature.
