Increased snowfall will offset sea level rise from melting Antarctic ice sheet

By the University of Bristol

Using modern methods to calculate projected changes to sea levels, researchers discovered that the two ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica respond differently, reflecting their very distinct local climates.
