Rob DeConto of UMass Amherst offers a new study that combines a well-established sea-level rise projection framework plus a model of Antarctic ice-sheet instability. He and lead author Robert Kopp of Rutgers suggest that scientists won't be able to determine until the 2060s which of two different sea-level rise scenarios is most likely to occur.
