- Abstract:
  The article reports on the analysis conducted by researcher known as Rignot regarding satellite interferometric synthetic-aperture radar observations of Antarctica's coastline from 1992 to 2006. This analysis was made to determine how much the Antarctic ice sheet may contribute to sea-level increase through global warming. The results show that there are widespread losses of ice in West Antarctica compared to East Antarctica which are probably not losing in mass. It is stated that the results of the analysis highlight the importance of changes in glacier dynamics.
