Story summary

Antarctica's ice melt is set to drive significant sea level rise by 2100, potentially elevating levels by 22 to 44 cm. Breakthroughs in studying the ice-ocean boundary and the use of ocean robots have enhanced our grasp of melting dynamics, yet challenges in modeling these processes leave room for uncertainty in future projections.
