| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The recent observations of the Antarctic ice sheet melt and its contribution to the sea-level rise are of great importance to human society. However, the mechanism of the Antarctic ice sheet melting is still largely unknown, which hampers future projections with higher precision. Here, we reconstruct long-term changes in the East Antarctic ice sheet based on field surveys and sample analysis aided by the Solid Earth model simulations, which allow a quantitative estimate of the ice sheet changes. Based on these analyses, the intensified warm current incision is thought to be a trigger of the significant Antarctic ice sheet melt in the past.
