Mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is found to significantly contribute to eustatic sea level rise, due to a dynamic response in the system. Pine Island Glacier, a fast flowing outlet glacier in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, is located in the Amundsen Sea Embayment Area, where the present Antarc...
