A new study revealed that some geological changes taking place in Antarctica have led to increased melting of ice and rising sea levels. A research team from McGill University in Canada examined the Earth's mantle beneath the Antarctic ice sheet and found it particularly soft in some key areas. The researchers warned of increased ice melting, rising sea levels, and the risk of environmental disasters in the near future. The study suggests that the phenomenon of "post-glacial uplift" would have a massive impact on future global sea level rise, or could make things much worse, depending on the amount of fossil fuels that trap heat and melt ice. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions will allow the rebound of the solid Earth to play a greater role in preserving more of the Antarctic ice sheets, the study recommended. Source: Qatar News Agency
