The East Antarctic Ice Sheet contains 52 meters of sea level rise, and there are worrying signs of mass loss from some regions. Targeted at policymakers, this event summarizes the latest science and shows why we must satisfy the Paris Agreement to avoid several meters of sea level rise from the cryosphere’s ‘sleeping giant’. Presenters include Dr. Chris Stokes, Durham University and an author of the April 1 Nature paper above; and Dr. Florence Colleoni, co-lead of the new SCAR scientific research program INSTANT (Instabilities and Thresholds in Antarctica).
