The Antarctic ice sheet, whose surface mass balance is primarily driven by precipitation, stores over 30 million cubic kilometers of ice (equivalent to about 60 meters of global sea level rise). Any disturbance to this ice sheet has a direct impact on the global sea level. Unfortunately, the process...
