The sensitivity of the Antarctic ice sheet to a changing climate: Past, present, and future

TL Noble, EJ Rohling, ARA Aitken… - Reviews of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is out of equilibrium with the current anthropogenic‐

Marine ice sheet instability amplifies and skews uncertainty in projections of future sea-level rise

AA Robel, H Seroussi, GH Roe - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Sea-level rise may accelerate significantly if marine ice sheets become unstable. If such
instability occurs, there would be considerable uncertainty in future sea-level rise projections …

Satellite record reveals 1960s acceleration of Totten Ice Shelf in East Antarctica

R Li, Y Cheng, T Chang, DE Gwyther, M Forbes… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Abstract Wilkes Land and Totten Glacier (TG) in East Antarctica (EA) have been losing ice

Short-and long-term variability of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets

E Hanna, D Topál, JE Box, S Buzzard… - Nature Reviews Earth & …, 2024 - nature.com
The variability of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets occurs on various timescales and is
important for projections of sea level rise; however, there are substantial uncertainties …

[HTML][HTML] Assessment of sub-shelf melting parameterisations using the ocean–ice-sheet coupled model NEMO (v3. 6)–Elmer/Ice (v8. 3)

L Favier, NC Jourdain, A Jenkins… - Geoscientific Model …, 2019 - gmd.copernicus.org
Oceanic melting beneath ice shelves is the main driver of the current mass loss of the
Antarctic ice sheet and is mostly parameterised in stand-alone ice-sheet modelling …

Antarctic slope current modulates ocean heat intrusions towards Totten Glacier

Y Nakayama, CA Greene, FS Paolo… - Geophysical …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
The Totten ice shelf (TIS) in East Antarctica has received increasing attention in recent years
due to high basal melt rates, which have been linked to a presence of warm modified …

Subglacial freshwater drainage increases simulated basal melt of the Totten Ice Shelf

DE Gwyther, CF Dow, S Jendersie… - Geophysical …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Subglacial freshwater discharge from beneath Antarctic glaciers likely has a strong impact
on ice shelf basal melting. However, the difficulty in directly observing subglacial flow …

Recent studies have revealed the presence of a complex freshwater system underlying the
Aurora Subglacial Basin (ASB), a region of East Antarctica that contains∼ 7 m of global sea …

Widespread grounding line retreat of Totten Glacier, East Antarctica, over the 21st century

T Pelle, M Morlighem, Y Nakayama… - Geophysical Research …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Totten Glacier (TG), the primary ice discharger of East Antarctica, contains 3.85 m sea level
