Your last sentence in the acceleration section.  It would seem that this question can be explored more by describing the acceleration observed.  Polargeo I encourage you to do so. That is where is acceleration greatest, is it propogating.  This will help indicate whether it is a calving front-ice shelf or upstream induced phenomenon. I did the bathymetry for the Polar Freeze journey for T.Kellogg and T.Hughes.

The paper just published in Proc royal soc does not really support any of the media hype. it is the testing of a fairly basic mathematical model on grounding line stability which just adds a peripheral Pine Island Glacier(ish) study. A quote from the paper if you are unconvinced "Given the complex, three-dimensional nature of the real Pine Island glacier, with its convergent feeder streams and subglacial hydrology, it should be clear that the above model is a very crude representation of reality" from the paper "Stability of ice-sheet grounding lines" Katz and Worster 2010.

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are below:

There are uncited sections, particularily entire paragraphs in the "History of fieldwork" section
The "History of fieldwork" needs to be updated, as it currently stops at 2012.
Is anyone willing to address the above concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 22:10, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
