Short summary
The Antarctic Ice Sheet is currently thinning, especially at major outlet glaciers. Including present-day ice thinning rates in models is a modeller's choice and can affect future projections. This study quantifies the impact of current imbalance on forced future projections, revealing strong regional and short-term (up to 2100) effects when these mass change rates are included.
