Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2018 Mass loss from the world’s ice sheets is one of the largest sources of uncertainty in sea-level rise projections for the 21st century. One way to improve sea-level rise projections is to better understand the processes driving past ice-sheet mass loss....
