This paper used palaeoclimate data and modelling results to investigate what this means for Antarctic mass balance and sea-level rise, as more snowfall will increase the water stored as ice on the continent.Abstract:
As the atmosphere warms it can hold more water so precipitation is expected to increase. This study uses palaeoclimate data and modelling results to investigate what this means for Antarctic mass balance and sea-level rise, as more snowfall will increase the water stored as ice on the continent.read more

TL;DR: The authors used numerical climate simulations, paleoclimate data, and modern observations to study the effect of growing ice melt from Antarctica and Greenland and found that ice mass loss from the most vulnerable ice, sufficient to raise sea level several meters, is better approximated as exponential than by a more linear response.

The multi-millennial Antarctic commitment to future sea-level rise

TL;DR: A coupled ice-sheet/ice-shelf model is used to show that if atmospheric warming exceeds 1.5 to 2 degrees Celsius above present, collapse of the major Antarctic ice shelves triggers a centennial- to millennial-scale response of the Antarctic ice sheet in which enhanced viscous flow produces a long-term commitment to sea-level rise.

Future sea level rise constrained by observations and long-term commitment

TL;DR: An approach that combines information about the equilibrium sea level response to global warming and last century's observed contribution from the individual components to constrain projections for this century is presented, which may lead to a better understanding of the gap between process-based and global semiempirical approaches.

TL;DR: The first synchronously coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model simulation from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Bølling-Allerød (BA) warming reproduces several major features of the deglacial climate evolution, suggesting a good agreement in climate sensitivity between the model and observations.
