Calving processes and the dynamics of calving glaciers
Calving of icebergs is an important component of mass loss from the polar ice sheets and
glaciers in many parts of the world. Calving rates can increase dramatically in response to …

Ice-sheet and sea-level changes
Future sea-level rise is an important issue related to the continuing buildup of atmospheric
greenhouse gas concentrations. The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, with the potential …

A reconciled estimate of ice-sheet mass balance
We combined an ensemble of satellite altimetry, interferometry, and gravimetry data sets
using common geographical regions, time intervals, and models of surface mass balance …

Marine ice sheet collapse potentially under way for the Thwaites Glacier Basin, West Antarctica
Resting atop a deep marine basin, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has long been considered
prone to instability. Using a numerical model, we investigated the sensitivity of Thwaites …

Ice sheet grounding line dynamics: Steady states, stability, and hysteresis
C Schoof - Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
The ice sheet–ice shelf transition zone plays an important role in controlling marine ice
sheet dynamics, as it determines the rate at which ice flows out of the grounded part of the …

Trends in Antarctic annual sea ice retreat and advance and their relation to El Niño–Southern Oscillation and Southern Annular Mode variability
SE Stammerjohn, DG Martinson… - Journal of …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Previous studies have shown strong contrasting trends in annual sea ice duration and in
monthly sea ice concentration in two regions of the Southern Ocean: decreases in the …

Sustained increase in ice discharge from the Amundsen Sea Embayment, West Antarctica, from 1973 to 2013
We combine measurements of ice velocity from Landsat feature tracking and satellite radar
interferometry, and ice thickness from existing compilations to document 41 years of mass …

West Antarctic Ice Sheet retreat in the Amundsen Sea driven by decadal oceanic variability
Mass loss from the Amundsen Sea sector of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has increased in
recent decades, suggestive of sustained ocean forcing or an ongoing, possibly unstable …

Observations beneath Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica and implications for its retreat
Abstract Thinning ice in West Antarctica, resulting from acceleration in the flow of outlet
glaciers, is at present contributing about 10% of the observed rise in global sea level. Pine …

Widespread changes in Southern Ocean phytoplankton blooms linked to climate drivers
Climate change is expected to elicit widespread alterations to nutrient and light supply,
which interact to influence phytoplankton growth and their seasonal cycles. Using 25 years …
