Calibrating Antarctic ice sheet mass loss due to millennial-scale ocean thermal forcing

Abstract: Throughout the Late Pleistocene, millennial-scale cycles in the rate of poleward heat transport resulted in repeated heating and cooling of the Southern Ocean1. Ice sheet models2 suggest that this variation in Southern Ocean temperature can force fluctuations in the mass of the Antarctic ice sheet that transiently impact sea level by up to 15 meters. However, current geologic evidence for Antarctic ice response to this ocean thermal forcing is unable to calibrate these models, leaving large uncertainty in how … Show more
