|a The great Greenland and
Antarctic ice sheets are
the “wild cards” in projections
of sea-level change
( 1). Early models of the coupled
ocean-atmosphere system
treated the ice sheets as static
white mountains. Observations
since then have shown that ice
sheets can change quickly (2): In
some places, the tides strongly
modulate coastal ice flow; in
others, warming-induced iceshelf
loss has caused the flow
speed of the subsequently unbuttressed inland
ice to increase almost 10-fold within a few
weeks ( 3, 4). A new generation of full-stress
ice-sheet models incorporates the physics
needed to reproduce such processes (see the
figure) ( 5– 7). Including full stresses does
improve ice-fl ow simulations ( 8). Well-validated,
robust projections of ice-sheet behavior
under climate change nevertheless remain
a challenge, as they will require an ensemble
of model ice sheets coupled to the rest of the
climate system. |
