The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) is the world’s largest potential source of sealevel rise, with the marine-based component (i.e. where the ice sheet is grounded below sea level) containing enough ice to raise sea levels by 52 m. Ice dynamics are strongly influenced by the internal temperature dis...
