Study Shows Antarctic Ice Loss Linked to Sea Level Rise

Antarctica lost 12,820 km² of grounded ice over 30 years, equivalent to 10 cities like Greater Los Angeles.
77% of Antarctica's coastline showed no grounding line migration since 1996, while retreat occurred in West Antarctica, Antarctic Peninsula, and parts of East Antarctica.
The study provides benchmarks for projecting sea level rise and helps reconcile East Antarctica's divergent mass balance assessments.
