Investigating the Effect of Internal Waves on Vertical Ice Melting Rates
Abstract Polar ice sheets are losing mass as a result of ocean‐driven melting processes and thus affecting global climate and sea level. Understanding the relevant dynamics and interactions at the ice‐ocean interface is crucial to developing more accurate sea‐level rise projections, but key ocean processes have not yet been considered in detail.

Impacts of Temperature‐ and Stress‐Dependent Rheology on Ice‐Shelf‐Front Bending
Abstract Classical treatments of ice‐shelf bending suggest that shelf fronts should bend downwards, due to the distribution of hydrostatic water pressure at the front. However, LiDAR data show several instances of upward‐bending ice‐shelf fronts. While this phenomenon has often been attributed to a buoyant force from a submerged ice bench, recent work ...

Abstract This study investigates the sensitivity of the oceanic circulation and δ13C ${\delta }^{13}C$ of the dissolved inorganic carbon to ice discharge events from the Laurentide ice sheet (LIS), using an isotope‐enabled and coupled climate–ice sheet model, and observations. The ice discharges are triggered by either reduced friction at the ice sheet‐

Abstract Widespread aeolian loess‐paleosol and red clay sediments on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) provide a globally unique terrestrial archive of Neogene–Quaternary climate. However, the timing and associated mechanisms of red clay to loess‐paleosol shift remain debated.

Abstract Snow dampens sounds, but anecdotal reports concisely describe audible propagating collapse events—firnquakes—in Antarctic and Arctic snowfields. We propose combining granular and continuum mechanics to form a testable theory for conditioning, triggering, and propagation of firnquakes consistent with scarce data.

The extreme melt across the Greenland ice sheet in 2012
The discovery of the 2012 extreme melt event across almost the entire surface of the Greenland ice sheet is presented. Data from three different satellite sensors – including the Oceansat‐2 scatterometer, the Moderate‐resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer,

Abstract Atmospheric rivers (ARs) significantly impact the Arctic climate system by enhancing atmospheric heat and moisture transport and altering the local energy budget. Developing AR detection tools (ARDTs) is critical yet challenging. This study evaluates 12 ARDTs in the Arctic to assess their performance in representing atmospheric heat ...

Abstract Nitrogen stable isotopes (δ15N) of ice core nitrate (NO3−) are often subject to diverse interpretations associated with changes in nitrogen oxide (NOx) sourcing, atmospheric reactions, and/or post‐depositional processes. Here, an ice core from Mont Blanc (French Alps) was analyzed to investigate the δ15N(NO3−) record over the past 1,000 years.
