Study links Greenland ice sheet collapse, sea level rise 400,000 years ago
Corvallis OR (SPX) Jun 30, 2014 - A new study suggests that a warming period more than 400,000 years ago pushed the Greenland ice sheet past its stability threshold, resulting in a nearly complete deglaciation of southern Greenland and raising global sea levels some 4-6 meters.
