How Does the Ocean Melt Antarctic Ice Shelves?
The present-day state and future of the Antarctic Ice Sheet depend on the rate at which the
ocean melts its fringing ice shelves. Ocean heat must cross many physical and dynamical …

[HTML][HTML] Brief communication: A roadmap towards credible projections of ice sheet contribution to sea level
Accurately projecting mass loss from ice sheets is of critical societal importance. However,
despite recent improvements in ice sheet models, our analysis of a recent effort to project ice …

[HTML][HTML] Climate intervention on a high-emissions pathway could delay but not prevent West Antarctic Ice Sheet demise
Solar radiation modification (SRM) is increasingly discussed as a tool to reduce or avert
global warming and concomitantly the risk of ice-sheet collapse, as is considered possible …

Increased warm water intrusions could cause mass loss in East Antarctica during the next 200 years
Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) is currently surrounded by relatively cool water,
but climatic shifts have the potential to increase basal melting via intrusions of warm …

An assessment of basal melt parameterisations for Antarctic ice shelves
Ocean-induced ice-shelf melt is the highest uncertainty factor in the Antarctic contribution to
future sea level. Several parameterisations exist to link oceanic properties to basal melt and …
