David M. Holland and Mark C. Serreze authored “The Decline in Ice Caps in Antarctic and Arctic: Effects on Global Sea Level Rise.” Alley.

The article was published in Nature Geoscience. It discusses the effects of declining ice caps in Antarctica and Arctic on the global sea-level rise. Research suggests that most of the world’s ice losses have occurred over the past two decades. This is especially true for the Antarctic Peninsula and Greenland. According to the authors, the global sea level has been rising rapidly due to the melting of the ice caps. This trend is likely not to slow down as the climate heats. According to the authors, melting icecaps is one of the main contributors to rising sea levels. These melting effects can be seen in the coastal regions of the world. The authors conclude that governments must take steps to decrease emissions and combat climate change to stop the melting of the ice caps. This will help to lessen the impact of rising sea levels.
