Scientists May Have Just Solved One of The Most Troubling Mysteries About Sea-Level Rise
World News | Chelsea Harvey, The Washington Post | Monday December 14, 2015
Scientists have announced a potential solution to a tantalizing puzzle about sea-level rise that's remained unsolved for more than a decade. In doing so, they've helped confirm scientists' latest estimates of 20th-century glacial melting and our understanding of how sea-level rise fundamentally affects the planet - down to the way it spins on its a...
