Scientists issue warning over new findings about Antarctica's ice sheet

Professor Hélène Seroussi is featured in an article about her study that integrates data from 16 ice-sheet models to forecast the future of Antarctica's glaciers. "The exact timing of such collapses remains unknown and depends on future greenhouse gas emissions, so we need to respond quickly enough to reduce emissions before the major basins in Antarctica are lost," Seroussi said.
