Rapid regional climate warming in the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) has led to several major ice shelves retreating, and eventually collapsing, since the 1970s. In response, feeding glaciers have exhibited rapid acceleration and thinning, contributing to sea-level rise. This ice mass unloading induces a...
