Stability of the West Antarctic ice sheet in a warming world
Ice sheets are expected to shrink in size as the world warms, which in turn will raise sea
level. The West Antarctic ice sheet is of particular concern, because it was probably much …

Global environmental consequences of twenty-first-century ice-sheet melt
Government policies currently commit us to surface warming of three to four degrees Celsius
above pre-industrial levels by 2100, which will lead to enhanced ice-sheet melt. Ice-sheet …

Increased West Antarctic and unchanged East Antarctic ice discharge over the last 7 years
Ice discharge from large ice sheets plays a direct role in determining rates of sea-level rise.

Volume loss from Antarctic ice shelves is accelerating
The floating ice shelves surrounding the Antarctic Ice Sheet restrain the grounded ice-sheet
flow. Thinning of an ice shelf reduces this effect, leading to an increase in ice discharge to …

A reconciled estimate of ice-sheet mass balance
We combined an ensemble of satellite altimetry, interferometry, and gravimetry data sets
using common geographical regions, time intervals, and models of surface mass balance …

Increased snowfall over the Antarctic Ice Sheet mitigated twentieth-century sea-level rise
Abstract Changes in accumulated snowfall over the Antarctic Ice Sheet have an immediate
and time-delayed impact on global mean sea level. The immediate impact is due to the …
