The Amundsen Sea sector of the largely marine-based West Antarctic Ice Sheet is currently subject to the most rapid changes in the global cryosphere. Ice streams here are marine-based on slopes that significantly deepen inland, thus are susceptible to increased future ice mass loss, directly resulti...
