Short summary
The bedrock deformation in response to a melting ice sheet provides significant negative feedback on Antarctic ice mass loss in the next 500 years. Current ice sheet models often use computationally fast but simplified Earth models. Our results show that projections of the Antarctic Ice Sheet contribution to sea-level rise using an ice sheet - 3D GIA (glacial isostatic adjustment) model can be approximated using a laterally varying ELRA (elastic lithosphere, relaxed asthenosphere) model or a 1D GIA model when the recommended parameters are used.
