Journal Article
Jones, R., Mackintosh, A., Norton, K., Golledge, N., Fogwill, C., Kubik, P., …Greenwood, S. (2015). Rapid Holocene thinning of an East Antarctic outlet glacier driven by marine ice sheet instability. Nature Communications, 6, Article 8910. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms9910

Outlet glaciers grounded on a bed that deepens inland and extends below sea level are potentially vulnerable to ‘marine ice sheet instability’. This instability, which may lead to runaway ice loss, has been simulated in models, but its consequences h...
