Antarctic ice sheet mass loss estimates using Modified Antarctic Mapping Mission surface flow observations

The long residence time of ice and the relatively gentle slopes of the Antarctica Ice Sheet make basal sliding a unique positive feedback mechanism in enhancing ice discharge along preferred routes. The highly organized ice stream channels extending to the interior from the lower reach of the outlet...
