Ancient Antarctic Ice Melt Increased Sea Levels by 3+ Metres - and It Could Happen Again

Mass melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet was a major cause of high sea levels during a period known as the Last Interglacial (129,000-116,000 years ago), an international team of scientists led by UNSW’s Chris Turney has found.
