Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is out of equilibrium with the current anthropogenic‐
enhanced climate forcing. Paleoenvironmental records and ice sheet models reveal that the …

Locally grounded features in ice shelves, called ice rises and rumples, play a key role
buttressing discharge from the Antarctic Ice Sheet and regulating its contribution to sea level …

Recent ice loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has been caused by ocean melting of ice
shelves in the Amundsen Sea. Eastward wind anomalies at the shelf break enhance the …

Mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is driven by changes at the marine margins. In the
Amundsen Sea, thinning of the ice shelves has allowed the outlet glaciers to accelerate and …

Abstract The Pine Island and Thwaites Ice Shelves (PIIS/TIS) in the Amundsen Sea are
melting rapidly and impacting global sea levels. The thermocline depth (TD) variability, the …

Climate model projections have previously been used to compute ice shelf basal melt rates
in ice sheet models, but the strategies employed–eg, ocean input, parameterization …

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

Coupled ice sheet–ocean models capable of simulating moving grounding lines are just
becoming available. Such models have a broad range of potential applications in studying …

A 1/12° ocean model configuration of the Amundsen Sea sector is developed to better
understand the circulation induced by ice‐shelf melt and the impacts on the surrounding …

Accelerating ice loss from Thwaites Glacier is contributing approximately 5% of global sea‐
level rise, and could add tens of centimeters to sea level over the coming centuries. We use …
