The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is one of the most dynamic regions of the Antarctic continent. Much of its bed lies below sea level, making the region particularly sensitive to ocean warming. Understanding the development of the WAIS is central to anticipating future sea level changes. If the WAIS were to melt completely, global sea levels could rise by more than 4 meters.
