Central West Antarctica among the most rapidly warming regions on Earth
There is clear evidence that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is contributing to sea-level rise.
West Antarctic rapid glacier retreat may be exceptional during the Holocene
Ice loss from the marine-based, potentially unstable West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) contributes to current sea-level rise and may raise sea level by ≤3.3 m or even ≤5 m in the future.
