Researchers used computer simulations to calculate future melting of protective ice shelves jutting over the Amundsen Sea.

研究人员使用计算机模拟来计算阿蒙森海上方突出来的保护性冰架未来的融化情况。

Their goal is to study the area where the large, but melting, Thwaites glacier faces the Amundsen Sea.

他们的目标是研究巨大但正在融化的斯韦茨冰川面向阿蒙森海的区域。

Naughten's study looked at the part of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet that is most at risk from melting from below, near the Amundsen Sea.

诺顿的研究着眼于南极西部冰盖靠近阿蒙森海的部分，那里最有可能从下面融化。

The part of the continent they're talking about is called the Amundsen Sea sector, which contains enough frozen fresh water to raise the global sea level by 1.2 meters.

他们所谈论的大陆部分称为阿蒙森海区，其中包含的冰冻淡水足以使全球海平面上升 1. 2 米。
