The current generation of continental-scale ice-sheet models cannot successfully reproduce the complex ice/water/sediment interactions of the West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS) in a physically meaningful manner. The potential of a thin-film-based subgla... Read More about A subglacial water-flow model for West Antarctica.

Reassesment of the Potential Sea-Level Rise from a Collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (2009)
Journal Article
Bamber, J., Riva, R., Vermeersen, B., & Le Brocq, A. (2009). Reassesment of the Potential Sea-Level Rise from a Collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Science, 324(5929), 901-903. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1169335

Theory has suggested that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may be inherently unstable. Recent observations lend weight to this hypothesis. We reassess the potential contribution to eustatic and regional sea level from a rapid collapse of the ice sheet an...
