Recent advances in both ocean modeling and melt parameterization in ice-sheet models
point the way toward coupled ice sheet–ocean modeling, which is needed to quantify …

Thermodynamic ablation of ice in contact with the ocean is an essential element of ice sheet
and ocean interactions but is challenging to model and quantify. Building on earlier …

The observed acceleration of ice shelf basal melt rates throughout West Antarctica could
destabilize continental ice sheets and markedly increase global sea level. Explanations for …

Abstract Melting of West Antarctic ice shelves is enhanced by Circumpolar Deep Water
(CDW) intruding onto the Amundsen and Bellingshausen Seas (ABS) continental shelves …

Satellite‐based estimates of ice shelf melt rates reach 200 m close to the grounding line of
Pine Island Glacier, in West Antarctica. However, ocean simulations have not yet been able …

Quantifying variability in the ocean carbon sink remains problematic due to sparse
observations and spatiotemporal variability in surface ocean pCO2. To address this …

Abstract In the Amundsen Sea, modified Circumpolar Deep Water (mCDW) intrudes into ice
shelf cavities, causing high ice shelf melting near the ice sheet grounding lines, accelerating …

Abstract The Southern Ocean is a key player in the climate, ocean, and atmospheric system.
As the only direct connection between all three major oceans since the opening of the …

Antarctica's floating ice shelves modulate discharge of grounded ice into the ocean by
providing a backstress. Ice shelf thinning and grounding line retreat have reduced this …

The ice shelves in the Bellingshausen Sea are melting and thinning rapidly due to modified
Circumpolar Deep Water (mCDW) intrusions carrying heat toward ice‐shelf cavities …
