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 …

The sensitivity of the Antarctic ice sheet to a changing climate: Past, present, and future
Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is out of equilibrium with the current anthropogenic‐

Marine ice sheet instability amplifies and skews uncertainty in projections of future sea-level rise
Sea-level rise may accelerate significantly if marine ice sheets become unstable. If such
instability occurs, there would be considerable uncertainty in future sea-level rise projections …
