Dynamical changes in contemporary ice sheets account for significant proportions of their
current rates of mass loss, but assessing whether or not these processes are a natural part …

To understand how planet Earth works we study it increasingly as a system–a collection of
interdependent parts or spheres–the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the …

Ocean melting has thinned Antarctica's ice shelves at an increasing rate over the past two
decades, leading to loss of grounded ice. The Ross Ice Shelf is currently close to steady …

Ice–ocean interactions at the bases of Antarctic ice shelves are rarely observed, yet have a
profound influence on ice sheet evolution and stability. Ice sheet models are highly sensitive …

An approximation of Antarctica's rocky and icy coastline normally forms the southern
boundary in global climate models. Such a configuration neglects extensive ice shelf areas …

Transport of warm, nutrient-rich Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) onto Antarctic continental
shelves and coastal seas has important effects on physical and biological processes. The …

Year‐round variability in the Ross Gyre (RG), Antarctica, during 2011–2015, is derived using
radar altimetry. The RG is characterized by a bounded recirculating component and a …

The stability of large Antarctic ice shelves has important implications for global sea level, sea
ice area, and ocean circulation. A significant proportion of ice mass loss from these ice …

The Finite Element Sea-ice Ocean Model (FESOM) has been augmented by an ice-shelf
component with a three-equation system for diagnostic computation of boundary layer …

Sub-ice shelf circulation and freezing/melting rates in ocean general circulation models
depend critically on an accurate and consistent representation of cavity geometry. Existing …
