Very nice piece by Alex Robel on the new Morlighem et al paper in Science Advances. Take-home message is that the so-called 'marine ice-cliff instability' isn't as likely to collapse the West #Antarctic Ice Sheet as previously claimed by DeConto & Pollard.science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Just released with Canadian Science Publishing. This research was a very large undertaking with collaboration from 3 universities (University of Toronto Scarborough, McMaster SEES, Waterloo Science), Ontario Geological Survey, GTK, and Geological Survey/Commission géologique Canada. Open Access with some amazing LiDAR figures. cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
