Paper on Sea Level Rise retracted
A 2009 study that claimed sea levels would rise by up to 82cm by the end of the century has been retracted. The retraction which occurred on 21 Feb 2010, was the first official retraction for the journal, Nature Geoscience, in its 3-year history.
However, after discovering errors in the sensitivity test, and also in the manner in which statistics were applied during the study, the authors concluded that they could no longer be confident in their results, and decided to retract the paper.
