- Title
Palaeoclimate: Tahitian record suggests Antarctic collapse.
- Authors
Kopp, Robert E.
- Abstract
The article discusses the author's views on the coral samples from Tahiti that are used to project the future of ice sheet dynamics in the Antarctic. He refers to the study by Deschamps and colleagues on the new sea-level record based on fossil corals and vermetid gastropods in Tahiti that ends the data on droughts. The author thinks that the evidence for Antarctic instability may not guarantee the sea-level feedback in the face of warmer and rising sea.
