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 …

Understanding how climate change influences ocean-driven melting of the Antarctic ice
shelves is one of the greatest challenges for projecting future sea level rise. The East …

Systematic long-term studies on ecosystem dynamics are largely lacking from the East
Antarctic Southern Ocean, although it is well recognized that they are indispensable to …

Ice shelves, which regulate ice flow from the Antarctic ice sheet towards the ocean, are
shaped by spatiotemporal patterns of surface accumulation, surface/basal melt and ice …

Fourteen phase‐sensitive radars (ApRES) were deployed on the Filchner‐Ronne Ice Shelf
(FRIS) to measure variability in its basal melt rate. Melt rates from sites along the Ronne …

Knowing the magnitude and timing of pelagic primary production is important for ecosystem
and carbon sequestration studies, in addition to providing basic understanding of …

Ice rises and rumples, locally grounded features adjacent to ice shelves, are relatively small
yet play significant roles in Antarctic ice dynamics. Their roles generally depend upon their …

The crystal orientation fabric (COF) of ice sheets records the past history of ice sheet
deformation and influences present-day ice flow dynamics. Though not widely implemented …

Ice shelves play a key role in the stability of the Antarctic Ice Sheet due to their buttressing
effect. A loss of buttressing as a result of increased basal melting or ice shelf disintegration …

The shape of ice shelf cavities are a major source of uncertainty in understanding ice‐ocean
interactions. This limits assessments of the response of the Antarctic ice sheets to climate …
