By raising sealevels, and therefore the groundingline, in their model, Katz's teamwere able to find the point of no return beyond which the glacier wouldbe unable to recover.
The groundingline selector SL-11 has passed field tests of single-phase-groundingline selection in non-solidly grounding system, which is based on current transient traveling wave.
The researchers foundthat as long as the groundingline is on the outer rise of the sea bed, before the lip, small changes in climate lead to correspondingly smallchanges in the glacier's ice volume.
