• A global, high-resolution data set of ice sheet topography, cavity geometry, and ocean bathymetry (2016, background): “…the Antarctic continent are considered (e.g. Foldvik et al., 1985 Scientific interest has increased further with growing evidence that mass loss from the Antarctic ice sheet is accelerating (e.g McMillan et al., 2014) and driven by enhanced ice shelf basal melting (Pritchard et al., 2012 .”
• The land ice contribution to sea level during the satellite era (2017, background): “We consider the WAIS and EAIS separately for reasons explained earlier: they are behaving differently, because they are experiencing different external forcing and respond differently to the same forcing (Pritchard et al 2012).”
• A roadmap for Antarctic and Southern Ocean science for the next two decades and beyond (2014, background): “However, an increasing imbalance in this mass budget has been observed in the past two decades, and the trend is accelerating (Joughin & Alley 2011, Rignot et al. 2011, Pritchard et al. 2012, Shepherd et al. 2012, Mouginot et al. 2014).”
