The size variations in the Antarctic ice sheet over time have confirmed its unstable nature, made worse by greenhouse emissions.

Amelia Shevenell, PhD, Associate Professor, University of South Florida, is co-lead author of a study published in Nature that concludes the East Antarctic Ice Sheet is more unstable than realized.
