New ground measurements made by the West Antarctic GPS Network project, composed of researchers from The University of Texas at Austin, The Ohio State University and The University of Memphis, suggest the rate of ice loss of the West Antarctic ice sheet has been slightly overestimated.
“Our work suggests that while West Antarctica is still losing significant amounts of ice, the loss appears to be slightly slower than some recent estimates,” Ian Dalziel, lead principal investigator for the project, said in a statement. “So the take home message is that Antarctica is contributing to rising sea levels. It is the rate that is unclear.”
