Towards truly integrated modeling and observing of marine ice sheets

作者：David GWYTHER

摘要：Understanding the current and future stability of Antarctica’s ice shelves is critical for assessing the potential for rapid sea level rise emanating from Antarctica’s marine ice sheets.The acceleration in ocean-driven mass loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet(Shepherd et al.,2018)is one such focus for intense research interest.The scale and urgency in understanding ocean-driven Antarctic mass loss motivates better integration and cooperation between modelers and observational scientists.
