Present-day Antarctic Ice Mass Changes and Thomas S. James' and R.
. The peak vertical velocities predicted by three realistic scenarios of Antarctic ice sheet mass balance are found to be of the order of several mm/a. One scenario predicts local uplift rates slightly in excess of 5 mm/a, These rates are small compared to the peak Antarctic vertical velocities of t...
