Modeling ice shelf/ocean interaction in Antarctica: A review
The most rapid loss of ice from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is observed where ice streams flow
into the ocean and begin to float, forming the great Antarctic ice shelves that surround much …

Ocean tide influences on the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets
Ocean tides are the main source of high‐frequency variability in the vertical and horizontal
motion of ice sheets near their marine margins. Floating ice shelves, which occupy about …

Heterogeneous melting near the Thwaites Glacier grounding line
Thwaites Glacier represents 15% of the ice discharge from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and
influences a wider catchment,–. Because it is grounded below sea level,, Thwaites Glacier is …

Freshening by glacial meltwater enhances melting of ice shelves and reduces formation of Antarctic Bottom Water
Strong heat loss and brine release during sea ice formation in coastal polynyas act to cool
and salinify waters on the Antarctic continental shelf. Polynya activity thus both limits the …

Ross Ice Shelf response to climate driven by the tectonic imprint on seafloor bathymetry
Ocean melting has thinned Antarctica's ice shelves at an increasing rate over the past two
decades, leading to loss of grounded ice. The Ross Ice Shelf is currently close to steady …

Closing the loops on Southern Ocean dynamics: From the circumpolar current to ice shelves and from bottom mixing to surface waves
A holistic review is given of the Southern Ocean dynamic system, in the context of the crucial
role it plays in the global climate and the profound changes it is experiencing. The review …

Historical and future projected warming of Antarctic Shelf Bottom Water in CMIP6 models
Understanding warming on the Antarctic shelf is critical for projecting changes in Antarctic
ice shelves and ice sheets. Here we assess Antarctic Shelf Bottom Water (ASBW) …

Circum‐Antarctic shoreward heat transport derived from an eddy‐and tide‐resolving simulation
Almost all heat reaching the bases of Antarctica's ice shelves originates from warm

Basal melting of Ross Ice Shelf from solar heat absorption in an ice-front polynya
Ice–ocean interactions at the bases of Antarctic ice shelves are rarely observed, yet have a
profound influence on ice sheet evolution and stability. Ice sheet models are highly sensitive …
