Antarctic ice sheet (Glaciology 🗻)
The Antarctic ice sheet is a continental glacier covering 98% of the Antarctic continent, with an area of 14 million square kilometres and an average thickness of over 2 kilometres. It is the largest of Earth's two current ice sheets, containing 26.5 million cubic kilometres of ice, which is equivalent to 61% of all fresh water...

Related: one of the things I love about my fellow scientists is their sense of humour. There are 2 ways to reconstruct the bed of the #AntarcticIceSheet; interpolate between those very sparse observations or use an ice flow model that has surface observations in it and invert to work out how the bed is changing the flow field.
Colleagues in Leeds/Sheffield have blended the 2 approaches and they have called it: "Frankenbed". Because why not? 😆

Extremely happy that my new paper on the future of #AntarcticIceSheet surface melting is finally published! 🎉
We use a new melt module in our ice-flow model #PISM which in addition to temperature also takes into account the effect of solar radiation & thus the melt–albedo feedback. Check it out! #OpenAccess #OpenScience

In the past couple of months I've seen several reports that suggest that the dramatic reduction of sea ice around Antarctica will accelerate the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet, which will melt and slide into the sea, raising sea level by 5 metres. This is probably inevitable even if we hit net zero next week - it's locked in and will happen this century, but possible a lot sooner in the worst case scenario. Who would bet against the worst case scenario, given the current year)? If we immediately start drastically reducing emissions, we might avert the collapse of the East Antarctic ice sheet... if that goes completely, the sea level rise could be 50 metres. Then there's the Greenland ice sheet, which could contribute a few more metres in the mix.
At what point will governments actually start to do something? The UK government is going in the opposite direction!
