Fig. 4: Regional mass balance of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet after 200 years.
From: Increased warm water intrusions could cause mass loss in East Antarctica during the next 200 years
Total mass balance in GTa−1 for the eight model catchments as well as the total model domain (pie charts, with area proportional to the net mass balance and the relative contribution of ice discharge in red and surface precipitation in blue) and ice thickness change (colours) after 200 years relative to the unforced scenario for a RCP4.5-SW, b RCP8.5-SW, c RCP4.5-mCDW and d RC8.5-mCDW climate scenarios (Representative Concentration Pathway, Shelf Water and Modified Circumpolar Deep Water respectively). Regions correspond to the IMBIE 2016 catchments49.
