New study by LDEO's Lauren Lewright, Jacqueline Austermann, James Davis, and colleagues finds that as Greenland’s ice sheet rapidly melts, causing sea level rise elsewhere, sea levels will fall along parts of the island, posing major problems. Via Science. https://bit.ly/4a31YK6
As Greenland loses ice, global sea levels will rise—and its own will fall
