摘要
Could the West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapse, causing a disastrous global rise in sea level? To answer that, we must first understand the fast-flowing ice streams that stud its perimeter, carrying its ice to the sea. What controls their locations? Seismology and satellite observations give one possible answer: ice streams exist only over sedimentary basins, which supply material for a slippery clay-like bed.
