Over recent decades outlet glaciers of the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE), West
Antarctica, have accelerated, thinned, and retreated, and are now contributing …

We review the geomorphological, sedimentological and chronological evidence for palaeo-
ice streams on the continental shelf of Antarctica and use this information to investigate …

Marine ice sheets are highly sensitive to submarine melting in their grounding zones, where
they transition between grounded and floating ice. Recently published studies of the …

Resting atop a deep marine basin, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has long been considered
prone to instability. Using a numerical model, we investigated the sensitivity of Thwaites …

Large parts of the Antarctic ice sheet lying on bedrock below sea level may be vulnerable to
marine-ice-sheet instability (MISI), a self-sustaining retreat of the grounding line triggered by …

Over the past 40 years Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica has thinned at an accelerating
rate,,, so that at present it is the largest single contributor to sea-level rise in Antarctica. In …

Antarctica's ice shelves modulate the grounded ice flow, and weakening of ice shelves due
to climate forcing will decrease their 'buttressing'effect, causing a response in the grounded …

Thwaites Glacier is one of the fastest-changing ice–ocean systems in Antarctica 1, 2, 3.
Much of the ice sheet within the catchment of Thwaites Glacier is grounded below sea level …

The choice of the best basal friction law to use in ice‐sheet models remains a source of
uncertainty in projections of sea level. The parameters in commonly used friction laws can …

Subglacial conditions of large polar ice sheets remain poorly understood, despite recent
advances in satellite observation. Major uncertainties related to basal conditions, such as …
