Liquid water below the ice determines how fast an ice stream flows. As the ice sheet gets thinner, more of that salty groundwater could rise.

This goes against the general understanding of how climate change impacts the coast. So what’s going on?
If fossil fuel burning stopped, emerging research suggests air temperatures could level off sooner than expected. But that doesn’t mean the damage stops.
We asked 680 Florida real estate agents what they’re seeing in the market. Here’s what they said.
Data analysis suggests local activity will intensify the effects of global warming - so adapting means rethinking national development strategies
Hundreds of Africa’s heritage sites are exposed to sea-level rise and coastal erosion in the future.
A sea level scientist explains the two main ways climate change is threatening the coasts.
Glaciers in North America, Europe and the Andes, in particular, have significantly less ice than people realized.
Around 17% of the mainland coastline is affected.
Severe coastal flooding inundated islands in the Pacific last week, including the Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands. It’s a taste of things to come.
The government is working hard to ensure Singapore does not become a modern-day Atlantis, Plato’s famous sunken city.
If Australia plans to sell as much of its fossil fuels as possible, the least it can do is help us in Kiribati survive the rising seas.
Carbon dioxide can be classed as pollution under the UN law of the sea and countries have an obligation to prevent it from entering the ocean.
Rising sea levels mean bigger waves will “redesign” coastlines.
Multiple efforts to tackling the twin issues of sinking land surface and rising sea level are urgently needed.
Climate change is making ocean levels rise in two ways. It’s a problem that will endure even after the world stabilizes and slashes greenhouse gas pollution.
The Maldives is facing coastal erosion, overdevelopment and a tide of plastic pollution.
Mangroves grow in saltwater along tropical coastlines, but scientists have found them along a river in Mexico’s Yucatan, more than 100 miles from the sea. Climate change explains their shift.
A new modelling approach improves projections of Antarctica’s future ice loss. It shows a low-emissions scenario would avoid the collapse of West Antarctica’s ice sheet and limit sea-level rise.
This is a transcript of part 1 of Climate Fight: the world’s biggest negotiation, a series from The Anthill podcast.
