Extended Data Fig. 5 | Long-term ice loss for different warming levels. This
figure continues Fig. 4 ; the equilibrium ice-sheet surface elevation is shown in
metres for different warming levels (7 °C, 8 °C, 9 °C and 10 °C GMT anomaly
above pre-industrial level), comparing the retreat (upper panels) and regrowth
(lower panels) branch of the hysteresis curve. Ice surface-height contours are
delineated at 1,000-m intervals. Grounding-line locations of the reference
state are shown in red; ice shelves are marked in light blue. The absolute
sea-level relevant ice-volume anomaly compared to the reference state (in m
SLE), that is, the committed sea-level rise, is given for each panel. Blue shadings
illustrate the bedrock depth in metres below the present-day sea level; brown
shadings illustrate the bedrock elevation in metres above the present-day sea
level (a.s.l.). ASB, Aurora subglacial basin; WSB, Wilkes subglacial basin.
