The Decline of Ice Caps in the Arctic and Antarctic: Impacts on Global Sea Level Rise” by David M. Holland, Mark C. Serreze, and Richard B. Alley.

This article, published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Geoscience, discusses the impacts of the decline of ice caps in the Arctic and Antarctic on global sea level rise. The authors cite research suggesting that the majority of the global ice loss has occurred in the last two decades, and that ice loss has been particularly notable in the Antarctic Peninsula, Greenland, and the Arctic. The authors explain that the increased melting of ice caps has caused an accelerated rise in global sea level, which is expected to continue as the climate warms. The authors note that the melting of ice caps is an important contributor to global sea level rise, and that the impacts of ice cap melting can be felt in coastal areas around the world. They conclude that it is essential for governments to take action to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change in order to slow the melting of ice caps and reduce the impacts of global sea level rise.
