In a warming world, rapid disintegration of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) remains a primary uncertainty in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) sea level rise projections. A deep ice core was drilled at the northeastern edge of the Ross Ice Shelf as part of the Roosevelt Island...
