Fig. 4: Grounded ice sheet extent in transient Run C and corresponding equilibrium states for ocean temperatures close to present-day.
From: Antarctic Ice Sheet tipping in the last 800,000 years warns of future ice loss
Darker shading indicates grounded ice in greater proportions of transient run snapshots (left plots) or equilibrium states (right plots). The top row is for present-day ocean temperature, and the bottom row for a slightly warmer ocean (T0 = +0.25 °C). Ice sheet extents demonstrate clear path-dependence, with generally greater grounded ice areas in the warming phase than in the cooling phase, for a given ocean temperature.
