Modelling the response of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to a climatic warming

Abstract

The range of consequences likely for ice loss and sea-level rise are computed in detail for the next 500 years, and in less detail for several thousand years hence. It is concluded that the effects for sea-level change could be substantial but of a magnitude (up to 1 m in 500 years and 3.5 m in 1000 years) and a rate of change (maximum of 0.6 m/100 years) that could be manageable if adequate monitoring and planning are carried out. - from Current Antarctic Literature
