And we certainly should not rule it out, says Alley. “If sufficient warming occurs to remove the ice shelf of Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, and to drive retreat into the deep basins, the calving cliff could be much higher and wider than at Jakobshavn, generating higher stresses, whic...
This is because most of the ice sheet that covers West Antarctica rests on bedrock far below sea level—in some areas up to 2 kilometres below. Bringing both poles into one model It can be a challenge to simulate the whole climate system because computer models of climate are usually ...
"This region is probably more sensitive to climate change than has traditionally been assumed, and that's important to know, because it holds even more ice than West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula together," said Rignot.The more rapid melt is due to increased westerly winds forcing more...
Increased melting of West Antarctica's ice shelves is "unavoidable" in the coming decades, a new study has warned. These floating tongues of ice extend from the main ice sheet into the ocean, and play a key role in holding back the glaciers behind. ...

"We now have some of the first major evidence that West Antarctica melted and drove a large part of this sea level rise," says Professor Turney. An urgent need to minimise future warming The severity of the ice loss suggests that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is highly sensitive to future ...
