Future Response of Antarctic Continental Shelf Temperatures to Ice Shelf Basal Melting and Calving
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 We investigate feedbacks between subsurface continental shelf ocean temperatures and Antarctic glacial melt using a coupled climate model. The model was forced with SSP5‐8.5 and an uncoupled projection of basal melt and calving fluxes.

Modeling intensive ocean–cryosphere interactions in Lützow-Holm Bay, East Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Basal melting of Antarctic ice shelves accounts for more than half of the mass loss from the Antarctic ice sheet. Many studies have focused on active basal melting at ice shelves in the Amundsen–Bellingshausen seas and the Totten ice shelf, East ...

The role of continental shelves in nitrogen and carbon cycling: Northwestern North Atlantic case study [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2010 Continental shelves play a key role in the cycling of nitrogen and carbon. Here the physical transport and biogeochemical transformation processes affecting the fluxes into and out of continental shelf systems are reviewed, and their role in the ...

Temporal Changes in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current: Implications for the Antarctic Continental Shelves [PDF]
Oceanography, 2016 Some of the most rapid melting of ice sheets and ice shelves around Antarctica has occurred where the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is in close proximity to the Antarctic continent.

Explicit representation and parametrised impacts of under ice shelf seas in the z∗ coordinate ocean model NEMO 3.6 [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2017 Ice-shelf–ocean interactions are a major source of freshwater on the Antarctic continental shelf and have a strong impact on ocean properties, ocean circulation and sea ice.

Offshore freshened groundwater in the Pearl River estuary and shelf as a significant water resource
Nature Communications, 2023 Large-river deltaic estuaries and adjacent continental shelves have experienced multiple phases of transgressions and regressions to form interlayered aquifer-aquitard systems and are expected to host vast paleo-terrestrial groundwater hundreds of ...

Classification of seabed landforms on continental and island shelves
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The increasing availability and quality of high-resolution bathymetry data has led to a growing need for automated classification approaches to extract seabed features and better understand our ever-changing and complex seascapes.

The impact of tides on Antarctic ice shelf melting [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Tides influence basal melting of individual Antarctic ice shelves, but their net impact on Antarctic-wide ice–ocean interaction has yet to be constrained.

On the biogeography and ecology of the Southern Ocean decapod fauna
Scientia Marina, 1999 The biogeography and ecology of decapod crustaceans was described for the higher latitudes of the Southern Ocean. The analyzed area included the transitional or antiboreal region of the South American continental shelves (south of about 42°30'S), the ...
