International study provides more solid measure of shrinking in polar ice sheets
Description: Dozens of climate scientists have reconciled their measurements of ice sheet changes in Antarctica and Greenland during the past two decades. The results roughly halve the uncertainty and discard some conflicting observations. Their paper examined three methods that had been used by separate groups and established common places and times, allowing researchers to discard some outlying observations and showing that the results agree to within the uncertainties of the methods.
