Ocean tide influences on the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets
Ocean tides are the main source of high‐frequency variability in the vertical and horizontal
motion of ice sheets near their marine margins. Floating ice shelves, which occupy about …

Elevation and elevation change of Greenland and Antarctica derived from CryoSat-2
V Helm, A Humbert, H Miller - The Cryosphere, 2014 - tc.copernicus.org
This study focuses on the present-day surface elevation of the Greenland and Antarctic ice
sheets. Based on 3 years of CryoSat-2 data acquisition we derived new elevation models …

Rapid retreat of Thwaites Glacier in the pre-satellite era
Understanding the recent history of Thwaites Glacier, and the processes controlling its
ongoing retreat, is key to projecting Antarctic contributions to future sea-level rise. Of …

Heat transport across the Antarctic Slope Front controlled by cross-slope salinity gradients
The Antarctic Slope Front (ASF) is a strong gradient in water mass properties close to the
Antarctic margins, separating warm water from the Antarctic ice sheet. Heat transport across …

Pathways and modification of warm water flowing beneath Thwaites Ice Shelf, West Antarctica
Thwaites Glacier is the most rapidly changing outlet of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and adds
large uncertainty to 21st century sea-level rise predictions. Here, we present the first direct …
