Our work will inform the public on how the Antarctic might contribute to global sea level rise, e.g., are current iceberg production rates accelerating and causing inland ice to flow into the sea more rapidly? Furthermore, a greater understanding of the important Earth systems, including the ocean-ice-atmosphere system, is important to a society contemplating the responsibilities of stewardship of the planet as we move into the era of potentially profound effects from global climate change.

我们的工作将向公众介绍南极可能如何促进全球海平面上升，例如，目前的冰山生产速度是否正在加快，并导致内陆冰更快地流入海洋？此外，随着我们进入全球气候变化可能产生深远影响的时代，对包括海洋-冰-大气系统在内的重要地球系统的更多了解，对于一个考虑管理地球责任的社会来说非常重要。
