I wrote a short focus piece on the last decade of modeling calving at tall ice cliffs, where these news results leave us, and where we can go from here
science.org
Tall ice cliffs at a rapidly retreating glacier in West Antarctica may not be as vulnerable to runaway ice loss as previously thought.

New (open access) study out from @mathieu_ice and colleagues in @ScienceAdvances finding no plausible scenarios under which runaway ice cliff failure occurs at @ThwaitesGlacier in the next 50 years
science.org
The most extreme projections of ice loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet are less likely than previously thought.

If this verifies, could be a historically disastrous event for the Savannah and Charleston metro areas, where old infrastructure already struggles to handle a foot of sea level rise.
#Debby will drop A LOT of rain over the next few days. Potentially historic, heavy rainfall is forecast across southeast Georgia and South Carolina through Friday morning. This may mean areas of catastrophic flooding. Prepare now for this possibility and follow your local NWS
