The sea‐level conundrum: case studies from palaeo‐archives
Abstract Uncertainties in sea‐level projections for the 21st century have focused ice sheet modelling efforts to include the processes that are thought to be contributing to the recently observed rapid changes at ice sheet margins. This effort is still in its infancy, however, leaving us unable to m...
