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 …

Regularized Coulomb friction laws for ice sheet sliding: Application to Pine Island Glacier, Antarctica
The choice of the best basal friction law to use in ice‐sheet models remains a source of
uncertainty in projections of sea level. The parameters in commonly used friction laws can …

Shallow shelf approximation as a “sliding law” in a thermomechanically coupled ice sheet model
The shallow shelf approximation, a balance of membrane stresses for ice flow, is an effective
“sliding law” for ice sheet modeling. Our use of it as a sliding law becomes a standard model …

Twenty-first century sea-level rise could exceed IPCC projections for strong-warming futures
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 …

Sensitivity of 21st century sea level to ocean‐induced thinning of Pine Island Glacier, Antarctica
Pine Island Glacier (PIG), Antarctica, is rapidly losing mass, supporting arguments that it may
play a major role in 21st century sea‐level rise. Yet this glacier's quantitative contribution to …
