It makes sense in principle: icebergs and ice sheets in the polar regions melt, and add water to the oceans.
So the oceans rise. But HOW? That's the question researched in great detail by Dave Sutherland in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oregon.
His research focuses not just on the melting, but where the water goes, horizontally and vertically. Sutherland's work takes him to Greenland and Alaska, among other places. He is our guest in this month's edition of Curious: Research Meets Radio.
