Minimal East Antarctic Ice Sheet retreat onto land during the past eight million years
Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) is the largest potential contributor to sea-level
rise. However, efforts to predict the future evolution of the EAIS are hindered by uncertainty …

Antarctic ice dynamics amplified by Northern Hemisphere sea-level forcing
Sea-level rise due to ice loss in the Northern Hemisphere in response to insolation and
greenhouse gas forcing is thought to have caused grounding-line retreat of marine-based …

Ice loss from the East Antarctic Ice Sheet during late Pleistocene interglacials
Understanding ice sheet behaviour in the geological past is essential for evaluating the role
of the cryosphere in the climate system and for projecting rates and magnitudes of sea level …

Global warming and the stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
M Oppenheimer - Nature, 1998 - nature.com
Of today's great ice sheets, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet poses the most immediate threat of
a large sea-level rise, owing to its potential instability. Complete release of its ice to the …

Extensive retreat and re-advance of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet during the Holocene
To predict the future contributions of the Antarctic ice sheets to sea-level rise, numerical
models use reconstructions of past ice-sheet retreat after the Last Glacial Maximum to tune …

Recent Antarctic Peninsula warming relative to Holocene climate and ice-shelf history
Rapid warming over the past 50 years on the Antarctic Peninsula is associated with the
collapse of a number of ice shelves and accelerating glacier mass loss,,,,,,. In contrast …

Response of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet to past and future climate change
Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet contains the vast majority of Earth's glacier ice (about
52 metres sea-level equivalent), but is often viewed as less vulnerable to global warming …
