Abstract
- States that model simulations of the West Antarctic ice sheet suggest that sporadic, perhaps chaotic, collapse (complete mobilization) of the ice sheet occurred throughout the past one million years. Causes of the irregular behavior; Concern that the West Antarctic ice sheet might collapse in response to future climate warming; Presentation of a whole ice-sheet model; More.
