...same speed, as ice began to freeze once more. Rather than forming steadily and melting steadily, the process of glacier freezing and receding may be more more unstable, reflected in sudden rising and falling of the sea level. "It's fair to say that this means glaciers may change somewhat faster than we once inferred," says Jeffrey Dorale, a geoscientist at the University of Iowa and the lead author of the Science paper.
