Abstract: The glaciers of the Antarctic Peninsula are experiencing faster melt because of increased temperatures; however, changes in precipitation may offset some of the future melt. This study looks at the relationship between glaciers and climate and finds a representative glacier is more sensitive to temperature change, rather than precipitation change. This indicates that precipitation increases are unlikely to counter the increased melt from warming.
