[HTML][HTML] Brief communication: A roadmap towards credible projections of ice sheet contribution to sea level
Accurately projecting mass loss from ice sheets is of critical societal importance. However,
despite recent improvements in ice sheet models, our analysis of a recent effort to project ice …

Increased warm water intrusions could cause mass loss in East Antarctica during the next 200 years
Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) is currently surrounded by relatively cool water,
but climatic shifts have the potential to increase basal melting via intrusions of warm …

Ocean warming as a trigger for irreversible retreat of the Antarctic ice sheet
Warmer ocean conditions could impact future ice loss from Antarctica due to their ability to
thin and reduce the buttressing of laterally confined ice shelves. Previous studies highlight …
