Precipitation drives western Patagonian glacier variability and may curb future ice mass loss.

Two-thirds of all glaciers worldwide are projected to disappear by 2100 CE. Large uncertainties however remain in maritime settings, where some glaciers have recently gained mass in response to increased snowfall. One of these regions is southern Patagonia, where increased precipitation since the 1980s seems to have attenuated glacier retreat.

Petermann ice shelf may not recover after a future breakup.

Floating ice shelves buttress inland ice and curtail grounded-ice discharge. Climate warming causes melting and ultimately breakup of ice shelves, which could escalate ocean-bound ice discharge and thereby sea-level rise. Should ice shelves collapse, it is unclear whether they could recover, even if we meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
