Sea level rise is one of the clearest signals of a warming planet, but its effects are not uniform across the globe. In Greenland, scientists are observing physical changes that alter how land and ocean interact along the coast. New research shows those changes may lead to a very different local outcome than many expect.
Why Sea Levels Can Drop As Ice Melts
A new study from the Columbia Climate School finds that sea levels around Greenland are likely to drop over the coming decades, even as global sea levels continue to rise. The research was led by Lauren Lewright, a geophysics doctoral researcher at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, with co-author Jacqueline Austermann and an international team of scientists.
According to the study, sea levels near Greenland could…
