1st systematic stability inspection for West #Antarctica: Current #ice loss may still be reversible! But: Destabilization of marine sectors of ice sheet could initiate slow, but certain long-term ice loss.

  Stability inspection for West Antarctica: marine ice sheet not destabilized yet, but possibly on tipping path
  
  09/07/2023 - Antarctica’s vast ice masses seem far away, yet they store enough water to raise global sea levels by several meters. A team of experts from European research institutes has now provided the first systematic stability inspection of the ice sheet’s current state. Their diagnosis: While they found no indication of irreversible, self-reinforcing retreat of the ice sheet in West Antarctica yet, global warming to date could already be enough to trigger the slow but certain loss of ice over the next hundreds to thousands of years.
