New study identifies sequence of critical thresholds for Antarctic ice basins - EnviroNews - latest environment news, climate change, renewable energy
The Antarctic ice sheet does not behave as one single tipping element, but as a set of interacting basins with different critical thresholds. This is the finding of a new study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology (MPI-GEA). With today’s warming, about 40 percent of the ice stored in West Antarctica may already be committed to long-term loss, while parts of East Antarctica cou…
February 16, 2026 - The Antarctic ice sheet does not behave like a single tipping point, but rather like a network of several interacting ice basins with different critical thresholds. This is the conclusion of a new study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the Max Planck Institute for Geoanthropology (MPI-GEA). At the current rate of global warming, around 40 percent of the ice in West Antarctica could be irreversibl…
