EAI lost its contract with the Baltimore district last year in a conflict over finances, while the Hartford, Conn., school board voted last month to drop its partnership with the company.

A 2012 study in Nature, using satellite data from the ICESat mission from 2003 to 2008, sounded the alarm, reporting that ice shelves in the
EAIS were now
losing volume.
What is of concern in the Antarctica is the loss of ice from the ice sheet, and the loss from WAIS is increasing, and there are signs that even the
EAIS may now be beginning to
lose ice.
This to me is a very pertinent conclusion as previous studies were lambasted at WUWT for showing those losses (and subsequently responded to by me over at Skeptical science) http://www.skepticalscience.com/Part-One-Why-do-glaciers-lose-ice.html http://www.skepticalscience.com/Part-2-How-do-we-measure-Antarctic-ice-changes.html http://www.skepticalscience.com/Part-Three-Response-to-Goddard.html So even with the uncertainties lowered it is still clear that the submarine portions of
EAIS are
losing more ice than the center part is gaining in snowfall.
Firstly, the paper still concludes that the
EAIS is
losing ice at somewhere near 25 - 30 Gt per year.
