Swapping a grounding line for a grounding zone doubles Thwaites' 2100 sea-level estimate
UC Irvine and JPL glaciologists project up to 30 mm of Thwaites sea-level rise by 2100, twice earlier estimates, even with no added warming. Replacing the grounding line with a grounding zone made the model's reconstruction of past change four times more pronounced.
