DESCRIPTION:CCfCS curated talk from BAS IDP seminars series\n\nMass loss f
 rom the Antarctic Ice Sheet is the largest uncertainty in current sea leve
 l rise projections and this uncertainty is largely related to the response
  of ice shelves. Ice shelves are the gatekeepers of Antarctica as they but
 tress the contribution of grounded ice to sea level rise. Although several
  processes have been identified that are key for future ice shelf instabil
 ity and retreat\, assessing how much\, how fast ice shelf instability will
  contribute\nto future sea level rise remains a major uncertainty as many 
 of the processes (e.g. hydrofracturing\, basal melting\, damage feedbacks)
  are not well understood or quantified. In this presentation\, Stef Lhermi
 tte will discuss the role of satellite remote sensing and modelling in ass
 essing these processes by showing examples of Pine Island Glacier and Thwa
 ites Glacier in the Amundsen Sea Embayment and other outlet glaciers in An
 tarctica with large consequences for global sea level.\n\n\nSign up here:
