| Abstract | One of the biggest unknowns in projecting future sea level is how fast the Antarctic Ice Sheet will melt in response to continued warming. An increase in high-latitude snowfall may offset some ice sheet melt due to warming of surrounding ocean and atmosphere, though it is not yet known how effective this compensating mechanism is, or under what timescales or conditions it might be important. To better understand these competing processes, researchers are investigating moisture-driven mechanisms |
