Establishing the trajectory of thinning of the West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS) since the last glacial maximum (LGM) is important for addressing questions concerning ice sheet (in) stability and changes in global sea level. Here we present detailed geomorphological and cosmogenic nuclide data from th...
