Millennial‐Scale Vulnerability of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to Regional Ice Shelf Collapse

Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) remains the largest uncertainty in projections of future sea level rise. A likely climate‐driven vulnerability of the AIS is thinning of floating ice shelves resulting from surface‐melt‐driven hydrofracture or incursion of relatively warm water into subshelf oc...
