Global sea-level rise contributed by Antarctic ice-mass loss could soon outpace all other sources. The ice-mass-loss signal of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is dominated by the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE) in West Antarctica. Ice shelves in the ASE influence the ice-mass-loss rates of the Antarctic Ice Sh...
