The objective of the international and interdisciplinary SWAIS2C project (Sensivity of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to 2 Degrees Celsius of Warming) is to understand past and present factors influencing WAIS dynamics and to reconstruct WAIS response to warmer temperatures, including those exceeding the +2°C target outlined in the Paris Climate Agreement. The project will drill two deep boreholes beneath the Ross Ice Shelf to obtain sediment sequences from a site close to the grounding line of the Kamb Ice Stream site (KIS-3) and the Crary Ice Rise (CIR). The geological data will be used to improve model-based projections of future sea level contributions from Antarctica and to answer the overarching question under what ...
