The Antarctic Slope Current in a changing climate
Abstract The Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) is a coherent circulation feature that rings the
Antarctic continental shelf and regulates the flow of water toward the Antarctic coastline. The …

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

Freshening by glacial meltwater enhances melting of ice shelves and reduces formation of Antarctic Bottom Water
Strong heat loss and brine release during sea ice formation in coastal polynyas act to cool
and salinify waters on the Antarctic continental shelf. Polynya activity thus both limits the …

Poleward shift of circumpolar deep water threatens the East Antarctic Ice Sheet
Future sea-level rise projections carry large uncertainties, mainly driven by the unknown
response of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to climate change. During the past four decades, the …

On-shelf circulation of warm water toward the Totten Ice Shelf in East Antarctica
Abstract The Totten Glacier in East Antarctica, with an ice volume equivalent to> 3.5 m of
global sea-level rise, is grounded below sea level and, therefore, vulnerable to ocean …

An overview of interactions and feedbacks between ice sheets and the Earth system
Ice sheet response to forced changes—such as that from anthropogenic climate forcing—is
closely regulated by two‐way interactions with other components of the Earth system. These …

Wind causes Totten Ice Shelf melt and acceleration
Totten Glacier in East Antarctica has the potential to raise global sea level by at least 3.5 m,
but its sensitivity to climate change has not been well understood. The glacier is coupled to …

Footprint of sustained poleward warm water flow within East Antarctic submarine canyons
The intrusion of relatively warm water onto the continental shelf is widely recognized as a
threat to Antarctic ice shelves and glaciers grounded below sea level, as enhanced ocean …

[HTML][HTML] Grounding line retreat and tide-modulated ocean channels at Moscow University and Totten Glacier ice shelves, East Antarctica
Abstract The Totten and Moscow University glaciers, located in East Antarctica, contain 5.1
m sea-level equivalent of ice and have been losing mass over recent decades. Using …
