NASA has developed a new forecasting tool that can predict which cities will be affected as different portions office sheets melt due to global warming.
The tool looks at the Earth's spin and gravitational effects to predict how water will be "redistributed " globally.
This provides, for each city ,a picture of which glaciers ,ice sheets, and ice caps are of specific importance , researchers said.
Three key processes influenced '' the sea-level fingerprint '', the pattern of sea-level change around the world ,according to the study published in the journal Science Advance.
These include gravity ,push -pull influence of ice and the rotation of the planet itself.
The tool provided a way for governments to work out which ice sheets they should be most worried about .
