The potential for this region to cross a tipping point has been raised in the past, but our study is the first to confirm that Pine Island Glacier does indeed cross these critical thresholds, said study leader Sebastian Rosier, a glaciologist at Northumbria University. Many different computer simulations around the world are attempting to quantify how a changing climate could affect the West Antarctic Ice Sheet but identifying whether a period of retreat in these models is a tipping point is challenging. However, it is a crucial question and the methodology we use in this new study makes it much easier to identify potential future tipping points.

London, April 2 : Pine Island Glacier a region of fast-flowing ice draining in West Antarctica may cross tipping points, which can lead to future global sea-level rise, researchers have found.
Pine Island Glacier is losing more ice than any other glacier in Antarctica and has been a cause of concern. Along with neighbouring Thwaites glacier, the region is responsible for about 10 per cent of the ongoing increase in global sea level.
