Ice loss from the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, South America, between 2000 and 2012
Open accessAbstract
A time‐series composed of 156 ASTER derived Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and a radar‐penetration‐bias corrected version of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) DEM is used to derive ice surface height and volume changes at the Southern Patagonian Ice Field (SPI) in southern South America. The observations, made between February 2000 and March 2012, indicate that the ice field is rapidly losing volume at many of the largest outlet glaciers, and in most cases thinning extends to the highest elevations of the ice field. Mass loss is occurring at a rate of −20.0 ± 1.2 Gt a−1, which, when summed with mass‐loss at the adjacent Northern Patagonian Ice Field results in a combined rate of −24.4 ± 1.4 Gt a−1, equivalent to +0.067 ± 0.004 mm a−1 of sea level rise. Our decade‐long mass loss rates are substantially higher than those derived during the last three decades of the 20th century, but are in good agreement with recent GRACE observations. Our volume loss estimate is sensitive to constraints applied to the amount of thickening in the accumulation zone. New field measurements and a continued DEM time‐series will be required to refine our estimates.

The models suggest that regional uplift rates in the order of tens of cm yr-1 shall be measured in the next century if the currently observed ice loss rate of at least -20 Gt yr-1 in the SPI continues until the total meltdown of the ice sheet in ∼200 years.
“our models suggest that we shall measure regional uplift rates in the order of the tens of cm yr -1 in the next century if the currently observed ice loss rate of at least -20 Gt yr -1 in the SPI (Willis et al., 2012) will continue until the total meltdown of the ice sheet in ∼ 200 years.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
