Antarctic Study Reveals Ice Shelf Vulnerability
Measured temperature and salinity.
Shackleton ice shelf less vulnerable to melting.
Warm water reaches Denman Glacier base.
Denman Glacier could raise sea level by 1.5 meters if destabilized.
Collected 200 profiles over 2.5 years.
Research refines ice-ocean models, reducing sea-level rise uncertainty.
