Ice-sheet losses track high-end sea-level rise projections

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 31 August 2020; doi:10.1038/s41558-020-0893-y

Observed ice-sheet losses track the upper range of the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report sea-level predictions, recently driven by ice dynamics in Antarctica and surface melting in Greenland. Ice-sheet models must account for short-term variability in the atmosphere, oceans and climate to accurately predict sea-level rise.
