DAN PAGE FOR HARVARD MAGAZINE

September 3, 2021

Dan Page's illustration for Harvard Magazine accompanied a feature titled, “Raising the Estimate of Sea-Level Rise.” Picture a plastic bowl with a large piece of ice in it – one tall enough that it rises high above the bowl’s rim. When the ice melts, the plastic bowl will reach full capacity, causing the extra water to spill over the lip and onto the counter.

This is a visual representation of how climate scientists have long modelled the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which is a bowl-shaped stretch of bedrock below sea level. Should the two million square kilometer ice sheet fully collapse, some water would stay in the geological bowl, while the rest would flow into the open ocean.
