The giant awakens: a high-resolution record of Antartic surface melting

Antarctica has long been considered the “sleeping giant” of sea level rise. But thanks to global warming, it is poised to overtake Greenland as the main contributor. Sophie de Roda Husman combined satellite data to create a detailed historical surface melting record that may help reduce the sizable uncertainty in sea level rise estimates of current climate scenarios. It also won her the award for Best Climate Action paper.
