New Study: Antarctic Ice Sheet Surface Mass Balance Has Been Increasing Due To Recent Mass Gain

The Surface Mass Balance (SMB) for the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) has been remarkably stable since the 1970s.

However, according to the authors of a new study (a preprint soon to be published), “in recent years, the SMB has increased on the AIS, in particular for 2022, which mostly originates from mass gain on the EAIS.”
