Change in future climate due to Antarctic meltwater
Abstract Meltwater from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is projected to cause up to one metre of sea-
level rise by 2100 under the highest greenhouse gas concentration trajectory (RCP8. 5) …

Subglacial plumes
IJ Hewitt - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Buoyant plumes form when glacial ice melts directly into the ocean or when subglacial
meltwater is discharged to the ocean at depth. They play a key role in regulating heat …

Stronger ocean circulation and increased melting under Pine Island Glacier ice shelf
In 1994, ocean measurements near Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier showed that the ice
shelf buttressing the glacier was melting rapidly. This melting was attributed to the presence …

A synthesis of thermodynamic ablation at ice–ocean interfaces from theory, observations and models
Thermodynamic ablation of ice in contact with the ocean is an essential element of ice sheet
and ocean interactions but is challenging to model and quantify. Building on earlier …
