Significantly reduced ice coverage in Greenland and West Antarctica during the warmer-than-present Pliocene could account for ~10m of global mean sea level rise. Any sea level increase beyond this would require contributions from the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS). Previous studies have presented l...
