Ice sheets are expected to shrink in size as the world warms, which in turn will raise sea
level. The West Antarctic ice sheet is of particular concern, because it was probably much …

Interactions between the Southern Ocean and the Weddell Sea ice shelves are important
both to the Antarctic Ice Sheet and to the production of globally significant water masses …

Iceberg calving has been assumed to be the dominant cause of mass loss for the Antarctic
ice sheet, with previous estimates of the calving flux exceeding 2,000 gigatonnes per year …

We compare the volume flux divergence of Antarctic ice shelves in 2007 and 2008 with 1979
to 2010 surface accumulation and 2003 to 2008 thinning to determine their rates of melting …

Subglacial meltwater draining along the bed of fast-flowing, marine-terminating glaciers
emerges at the grounding line, where the ice either goes afloat to form an ice shelf or …

Satellite radar measurements show that ice shelves in Pine Island Bay have thinned by up to
5.5 m yr− 1 over the past decade. The pattern of shelf thinning mirrors that of their grounded …

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 …

Meltwater generated beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet exerts a strong influence on the speed
of ice flow, in particular for major ice streams,. The subglacial meltwater also influences …

Locally grounded features in ice shelves, called ice rises and rumples, play a key role
buttressing discharge from the Antarctic Ice Sheet and regulating its contribution to sea level …

Reducing the uncertainty in the past, present, and future contribution of ice sheets to sea-
level change requires a coordinated effort between the climate and glaciology communities …
