“The loss of the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf will directly cause a sea level rise of 2 to 3 millimeters. The loss of the glacier tongue behind it & the inland floating parts will cause an indirect sea level rise of 10 cm to 1 meter, due to sliding land ice.”

“If the land ice & semi-floating ice above the Byrd Subglacial Basin start to break & shear, then we can speak of a self-reinforcing effect due to the sea level rise itself, or better due to the lifting & destabilization of all ice shelves, glaciers & high land ice.”
