Antarctic Effect on Global Sea Rise

Professor Tulaczyk is one of the world’s leading investigators of the Antarctic ice sheets. In January of 2017 he was a member of the team that discovered a lake a half-mile below Antarctica’s largest ice shelf. Expecting to perhaps find only bacteria the team was surprised to discover fish, crustaceans and jellyfish. One of the goals of Professor Tulaczyk’s research is to understand how the collapse of Antarctic ice sheets might contribute to a global rise in sea level.
