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 …

Even if anthropogenic warming were constrained to less than 2° C above pre-industrial, the
Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets will continue to lose mass this century, with rates similar …

The Antarctic ice sheet has been losing mass over past decades through the accelerated
flow of its glaciers, conditioned by ocean temperature and bed topography. Glaciers …

We use numerical climate simulations, paleoclimate data, and modern observations to study
the effect of growing ice melt from Antarctica and Greenland. Meltwater tends to stabilize the …

Since 1992, there has been a revolution in our ability to quantify the land ice contribution to
sea level rise using a variety of satellite missions and technologies. Each mission has …

Abstract The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)'s Operation IceBridge
(OIB) was a 13‐year (2009–2021) airborne mission to survey land and sea ice across the …

Strong heat loss and brine release during sea ice formation in coastal polynyas act to cool
and salinify waters on the Antarctic continental shelf. Polynya activity thus both limits the …

Abstract The Totten Glacier in East Antarctica, with an ice volume equivalent to> 3.5 m of
global sea-level rise, is grounded below sea level and, therefore, vulnerable to ocean …

While twentieth century sea-level rise was dominated by thermal expansion of ocean water,
mass loss from glaciers and ice sheets is now a larger annual contributor. There is …

Ocean melting has thinned Antarctica's ice shelves at an increasing rate over the past two
decades, leading to loss of grounded ice. The Ross Ice Shelf is currently close to steady …
