11.As ice melts in West Antarctica,the ground beneath is quickly rising-a process that could prevent the catastrophic (災(zāi)難性的)collapse of ice sheets,according to researchers.
A study published in the journal Science provides a glimmer (一絲)of hope for a region affected by climate change.In recent years,several studies have warned that the ice sheet,which contributes to a quarter of melted ice worldwide annually,is very easy to break up.Scientists fear even slightly melting could cause global sea levels to rise by 3 metres.
Researchers at the Technical University of Denmark set out to answer how the bedrock underneath the ice sheet of West Antarctica behaves as the ice melts.To study the land,the team analyzed data collected by high precision GPS equipment positioned on remote rock formations in West Antarctica,which measured movements of the land down to the millimetre over a 10 year period.
"After a heroic effort to install and maintain the network of sensors in one of the least accessible places on the planet,the team has been rewarded with incredibly valuable data,which tell an incredible story about the Earth," wrote Valentina Barletta.
The team found that the Earth was pushing the bedrock to rise faster than expected.In 2014,the surface rose by 41 millimetres:four to five times quicker than predicted.In 100 years,the land could be up to 10 metres higher than it is currently.
It is hoped that as the ice melts,the Earth's crust (地殼)will bounce back much faster than previously expected.In turn,this could stabilize what the researchers described as the "catastrophic collapse" of the ice sheet.
Barletta told Newsweek the ice sheet will never be stable if global warming becomes too extreme."Reducing the greenhouse gas will give the ice sheet a better chance of survival because that would allow some known and unknown feedback to create better conditions for the ice," she said.
