Scientists Anthony Long and Sarah Woodroffe of Durham University geography department looking at glacial marine sediments near Ilulissat on Greenland. For the last 4 years they have been studying isostatic rebound or how the land is rising after the weight of ice is taken off it. If they can understand how the relative sea levels were affected by the changeing climate of the past they should be able to greater understand how the melting of the Greenland ice sheet will affect global sea levels. This understanding is crucial as the Greenland ice sheet contains enough warter to raise global sea levels by nine metres.
