H2020-PROTECT @h2020protect.bsky.social · 27/03/20253️⃣ Bed type matters We compared bed types (hard, soft, and mixed) and found more ice loss on hard beds by 2100, except with inefficient drainage. Bed conditions near the grounding line shape glacier sensitivity. A sharp hard-to-soft transition stabilizes the glacier more than a gradual one. 000
H2020-PROTECT @h2020protect.bsky.social · 27/03/20252️⃣ Importance of the coupling between hydrology and ice flow Experiments show subglacial hydrology must be updated with ice-sheet changes. The effective pressure time step should match the ice-flow model; otherwise, interactions are lost, mimicking no hydrology. 110
H2020-PROTECT @h2020protect.bsky.social · 27/03/20251️⃣ Subglacial #hydrology matters We tested a subglacial hydrology model on Thwaites Glacier, showing it accelerates grounding-line retreat. By 2100, #SeaLevelRise could reach 95 mm (hard bed) or 20 mm (soft bed), vs. 10 mm without hydrology All models indicate Thwaites’ eventual collapse. 200
