- Ice2sea abstract "Ice2sea is a program of scientific research funded by the European Union's Framework 7 Programme to study the effects of climate change on glaciation and the melting of ice caps and glaciers on sea level. The ice2sea project, a collaborative of 24 research institutions, which is headed by Prof David Vaughan, aims to reduce the uncertainty in sea-level projections which are of great economic and social importance to the European Union, especially as large areas of coastal area in Europe are below or less than a metre above sea level.The 2007 fourth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report highlighted ice sheets* as the most significant remaining uncertainty in projections of sea-level rise. Understanding about the crucial ice-sheet effects was “too limited to assess their likelihood or provide a best estimate of an upper bound for sea-level rise”.Improved scientific results from ice2sea will feed directly into the fifth IPCC report (due in 2013) to generate more accurate sea-level rise projections.The initiative recently funded research by scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Germany, which was published in Nature in 2012, which predicts the disappearance of the 450,000 km2 (170,000 sq mi) vast Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf in east Antarctica by the end of the century which could add up to 4.4 mm (0.17 in) of rise of sea level each year due to its melting alone.".
