A large section of the mighty West Antarctic ice sheet has begun falling apart and its continued melting now appears to be unstoppable, two groups of researchers recently reported. The __51__ scientists say that means even more sea level rise than they figured.

One of the studies, led by NASA glaciologist(冰川学家) Eric Rignot, looked at 40 years of ground, airplane and __52__data of what researchers call “the weak underbelly of West Antarctica.” It shows the melt is happening faster than scientists had__53__, crossing a critical threshold(开端) that has begun a domino-like process.
