India, Nov. 26 -- A new study maps how Antarctic ice melt will unevenly raise sea levels worldwide.

It reveals that regions far from the continent, such as the Indian, Pacific and western Atlantic basins, face the greatest increases.

The research underscores the urgent need to cut greenhouse gas emissions to protect vulnerable coastal and island communities.

When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from the poles.

But melting ice sheets don't affect sea level and temperatures in the same way everywhere.

In a new study, our team of scientists investigated how ice melting in Antarctica affects global cli...
