2007年,政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)声明:到2010年,全球海平面会升高18～59 cm。该声明引起了巨大的轰动。但是,这些数字充满了不确定因素,其中最大的不确定因素就是搞不清目前覆盖格陵兰岛和南极洲的大型冰原所形成的融水对海平面的上升会造成多大的潜在影响。因此,欧盟的科学资助项目——第七框架计划(Framework 7),创建了一项被称为“由冰到海(ice2sea)”的联合研究项目,该项目研究陆地冰的融化过程,以便估 In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that by 2010, global sea level will increase by 18-59 cm. The statement caused a huge sensation. However, these figures are full of uncertainties and the biggest uncertainty is the uncertainty about the potential impact of meltwater, which is now formed by large ice sheets covering Greenland and Antarctica, on sea-level rise. As a result, the European Union’s science-funded project, Framework 7, created a joint research project called “ice2sea” that studies the melting of terrestrial ice, In order to estimate
