Antarctic coastal blind spots limit sea level rise predictions
A new scientific review warns that critical gaps in data along the Antarctic coast, where ice meets the ocean, are limiting the accuracy of global sea level rise projections.
Not moving quickly right now, but still current and open to further updates.

What we don't know
Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.
- How much the lack of coastal data has already skewed current sea level rise models.
- The timeline and funding required for international research teams to fully map the remaining blind spots.
