text: There are at least two possible mechanisms: (i) regional warming drove a reduction in the extent of the floating ice sheet before the summer of 2013, which diminished its buttressing effect on the outlet glaciers, prompting increased rates of discharge which thinned the ice, as observed in the Antarctic Peninsula (22, 23), and (ii) increases in meltwater production can modulate dynamical changes in ice mass.
