The West Antarctic Ice Sheet Seems to Be Good at Collapsing
The West Antarctic ice sheet shrank dramatically even when Earth was not as warm as today, says a new study co-authored by Columbia climate scientist Jonathan Kingslake.
Shrinking Ice Sheet Made A Surprising Comeback
Thousands of years ago, the West Antarctic ice sheet shrank dramatically—then grew back in an unexpected way. The new findings could help to refine predictions about how today’s warming climate will impact polar ice and sea level rise.
How Will People Move as Climate Changes?
A new model developed by Kyle Davis, a Columbia postdoctoral researcher, estimates how many climate migrants there will be, where they are likely to go, and what effects they might have on the places to which they move.
