Earth’s climate is undergoing dramatic warming that is unprecedented in at least the last ~2000 years. Outlets of the Antarctic ice sheet are experiencing dynamic thinning, terminus retreat and mass loss, however, we are currently unable to accurately predict their future response. The drivers and m...
