The article presents a study on the sensitivity of Greenland and Antarctic ice-sheet model to environmental forcing and their use in projecting sea level or the SeaRise project. The study employs numerical models, Community Ice Sheet Model (CISM), and BEDMAP dataset. Results reveal a large range in projected contributions to sea-level change. It adds that the model indicate that Greenland is more sensitive than Antarctica to atmospheric changes in precipitation and temperature. Moreover, it discusses the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's RCP8 scenario.
