3️⃣ Bed type matters
We compared bed types (hard, soft, and mixed) and found more ice loss on hard beds by 2100, except with inefficient drainage. Bed conditions near the grounding line shape glacier sensitivity. A sharp hard-to-soft transition stabilizes the glacier more than a gradual one.

2️⃣ Importance of the coupling between hydrology and ice flow
Experiments show subglacial hydrology must be updated with ice-sheet changes. The effective pressure time step should match the ice-flow model; otherwise, interactions are lost, mimicking no hydrology.

1️⃣ Subglacial #hydrology matters
We tested a subglacial hydrology model on Thwaites Glacier, showing it accelerates grounding-line retreat. By 2100, #SeaLevelRise could reach 95 mm (hard bed) or 20 mm (soft bed), vs. 10 mm without hydrology
All models indicate Thwaites’ eventual collapse.

Let's wrap up with 4 key messages👇
Mitigation is critical: Cutting emissions slows glacier loss
Adaptation is urgent: We must prepare for water & coastal risks
Regional variability matters: Local solutions are key
Uncertainty is no excuse: Science guides action
