N2 - In order to study the effect of sea-level changes on inland ice sheets, a new ice-flow model has been developed that explicitly includes longitudinal stresses. Sea-level rise causes a wave of thinning to propagate upglacier in an ice sheet with terminal position controlled by sea level. Model calculations show that post-Wisconsinan sea-level rise has caused 110 m thinning at Dome C, East Antarctica, and that response is now 70% complete. For a 10% increase in accumulation rate from Wisconsinan to Holocene, there has been 75 m post-Wisconsinan thinning due to combined effects of sea-level rise and accumulation-rate increase. -from Author
