Fig. 3

The ice thickness of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet in years 2300, 2400 and 2500 using the 3D Weaker Earth structure and IPSL forcing under the low emission scenario SSP1-2.6 (panel ac). AS in panel (a) indicates the Amundsen Sea, and WS indicates the Weddell Sea. Panel (df) show the ice thickness difference between using the 3D Weaker structure and the rigid Earth structure. Panel (gi) show the difference in bedrock elevation between the application of the 3D Earth structure and the rigid Earth structure. IPSL corresponds to the climate model with most of the warming in the Amundsen Sea (“Methods”).
