| Abstract | Sea-level rise will affect millions of people in coastal communities within the next several decades. Accurate predictions of how quickly it will rise is challenging because it depends on many different processes and how these processes interact with and feedback on each other. One process that may play a surprisingly large role is the effect of small swirls and eddies (only a few feet across) of warm water that control the rate of ice melt at the near-vertical cliff faces of the world’s marine- |
