Extended Data Fig. 10: Comparison of predicted and observed ice-thickness changes in the Weddell Sea region.

From: Antarctic ice dynamics amplified by Northern Hemisphere sea-level forcing

Extended Data Fig. 10

a, b, Predicted (lines) and observed (error bars) ice thickness (in metres) above the modern thickness at sites 11–13 (a) and 14, 15 (b) from ref. 35. Predictions are from simulations in which Northern Hemisphere ice cover is evolving according to ICE5G27 (black lines) or is fixed (blue lines). Error bars show cosmogenic exposure age data with 2σ uncertainty from ref. 35. c, Map of predicted ice thickness at 12 ka, in the simulation with ICE5G27. The locations of the relevant sites in the Weddell Sea and Ross Sea (see Extended Data Fig. 11) regions are indicated. See Methods for further discussion of these results.
