=====Marine ice sheet instability amplifies and skews uncertainty in projections of future sea-level rise===== | |||

We have shown that model ensembles can be used to quantify a range of possible scenarios for future sea-level rise, including potentially catastrophic scenarios of rapid sea-level rise. However, large model ensembles can be prohibitively expensive when extended to the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet. To fully capture the complete range of possible Antarctic futures, we will need efficient methods for uncertainty quantification (32, 37) and model order reduction that captures the complexities of ice sheet dynamics (31, 34). Such sophisticated methods will ensure that we can make the most useful sea-level projections beyond 2100 for those stakeholders who depend on them. | |||
