The Antarctic ice cap is the largest ice mass on Earth. This cap is subject to instabilities generated by ongoing climate change. This thesis is part of the European H2020 project TiPACCs (Tipping Points in Antarctic Climate Components). The overall objective is to assess the likelihood of large and...
