The future behaviour of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is considered as one largest unknowns in global climate predictions and dramatically accelerated ice loss has been observed over past few decades for numerous of its drainage basins. However, those records only reflect a short moment limited informative value when considering length full cycle sheet build-up retreat. deglaciation history East sector largely...
The sensitivity of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) to advection relatively warm circumpolar deep water and changes in sea-ice cover, both affecting stability ice-shelf fronts, remains poorly constrained for past deglacial period. Accordingly, projections how (rapidly) EAIS will respond ongoing climate warming lack solid information quantitatively evaluate ice-ocean feedback mechanisms that drive ice-sheet disintegration. Here, we investigate biomarker inventory (highly branched...
