ScienceDaily: Researchers from the University of Toronto, Harvard and Rutgers Universities have found a way to identify the "sea level fingerprint" left by a particular sheet of ice -- and possibly enable a more precise estimate of its impact on global sea levels. As Earth's climate warms, a melting ice sheet produces a distinct and highly non-uniform pattern of sea-level change, with sea level falling close to the melting ice sheet and rising progressively farther away. The pattern for each ice sheet is unique...
