Default Wilkins Ice Shelf disintegrating

I'm not sure its that simple:
1) What about thermal expansion causing the rise rather than the added
"melted ice"?


How much do yo think water, in liquid form, expands?


2) What if the ice that enters the water was coupled to land rather than
floating - surely this would increase depth?



Exactly how much of the ice is over land? What is the exact median
thickness of that ice?
