Description
Summary:Reconstructing the former dimensions and deglacial history of the Antarctic Ice Sheet along with Antarctic paleoclimate is important for understanding forcing mechanisms of ice sheet change. Here, we review briefly a number of recent research highlights that have advanced our understanding of the retreat history of the ice sheet and the changes in paleoclimate since the LGM.
