Two main contributions dominate the mass balance of Antarctica: surface mass balance, represented by all processes of gain and loss of mass acting at the upper surface (precipitations, melting, sublimation, wind transport...) and dynamical transport from grounded ice to the sea. This transfer takes place through outlet glaciers and represents 90% of the total loss of the whole ice sheet volume. These coastal systems act as regulators for the evolution of the ice sheet mass balance and for its contribution to sea level rise. Recently, observations emphasize a relevant decrease of mass balance in certain zones of Antarctica such as the West Coast, and an associated contribution to sea level rise from the ice sheet which increases significantl...
