DESCRIPTION:The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is a major contributor to g
 lobal sea level rise\, with concerns about the possibility of the ice shee
 t becoming unstable and causing irreversible retreat on decadal to centenn
 ial timescales. While the timing of self-sustaining retreat is challenging
  to estimate\, it is largely controlled by the bed and influenced by vario
 us factors such as atmospheric and oceanic forcing\, ice shelf buttressing
  and integrity\, basal processes\, and interactions. Sensitivity experimen
 ts demonstrate the potential for stable and unstable grounding-line positi
 ons of the WAIS\, offering insights into where unstable retreat is expecte
 d instead of when\, and for what ice sheet margins potential recovery of t
 he ice sheet is possible.
