Description
Summary:of fresh water. This is enough to balance our measured salinity with a mean sea-level change of 135m. Increas-es in ice-shelf volumes can also balance the salt budget. Given a total volume of 0.7 106 km3 for all the Antarctic ice shelves (50), there would have to be seven times this amount of floating ice at the LGM to balance our data with the sea-level constraints.
