Mass balance of the Antarctic Ice Sheet from 1992 to 2017
Nature, 2018 - nature.com
Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet is an important indicator of climate change and driver of sea-
level rise. Here we combine satellite observations of its changing volume, flow and …

Estimation of the Antarctic surface mass balance using the regional climate model MAR (1979–2015) and identification of dominant processes
The Antarctic ice sheet mass balance is a major component of the sea level budget and
results from the difference of two fluxes of a similar magnitude: ice flow discharging in the …

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 …

Marine ice sheet collapse potentially under way for the Thwaites Glacier Basin, West Antarctica
Resting atop a deep marine basin, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has long been considered
prone to instability. Using a numerical model, we investigated the sensitivity of Thwaites …
