Golledge_etal2015_RCP8.5

This animation shows a 10 km-resolution model simulation of the Antarctic ice-sheet. It starts from pre-industrial times (1890) and runs forward in time to 5000 CE. Climatic and oceanic changes based on RCP 8.5 conditions are applied from 2000 to 2300 CE, and are then held fixed through to the end of the run. Full details can be found in Golledge et al., 2015.
