Simulated melt rates for the Totten and Dalton ice shelves [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2014 The Totten Glacier is rapidly losing mass. It has been suggested that this mass loss is driven by changes in oceanic forcing; however, the details of the ice–ocean interaction are unknown.

Catastrophic ice-shelf break-up by an ice-shelf-fragment-capsize mechanism [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2003 AbstractTwo disintegration events leading to the loss of Larsen A and B ice shelves, Antarctic Peninsula, in 1995 and 2002, respectively, proceeded with extreme rapidity (order of several days) and reduced an extensive, seemingly integrated ice shelf to ajumble of small fragments.

Investigation of land ice-ocean interaction with a fully coupled ice-ocean model, Part 1: Model description and behavior [PDF]
, 2012 Antarctic ice shelves interact closely with the ocean cavities beneath them, with ice shelf geometry influencing ocean cavity circulation, and heat from the ocean driving changes in the ice shelves, as well as the grounded ice streams that feed them.

On the interpretation of ice-shelf flexure measurements [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2017 ABSTRACTTidal flexure in ice shelf grounding zones has been used extensively in the past to determine grounding line position and ice properties. Although the rheology of ice is viscoelastic at tidal loading frequencies, most modelling studies have assumed some form of linear elastic beam approximation to match observed flexure profiles.

Instantaneous Antarctic ice-sheet mass loss driven by thinning ice shelves [PDF]
, 2019 Recent observations show that the rate at which the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is contributing to sea level rise is increasing. Increasing ice-ocean heat exchange has the potential to induce substantial mass loss through the melting of its ice shelves ...

Energetics of Eddy-Mean Flow Interactions in the Amery Ice Shelf Cavity
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Previous studies demonstrated that eddy processes play an important role in ice shelf basal melting and the water mass properties of ice shelf cavities.

Ice-shelf buttressing and the stability of marine ice sheets [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2012 Abstract. Ice-shelf buttressing and the stability of marine-type ice sheets is investigated numerically. Buttressing effects are analysed for a situation where a stable grounding line is located on a bed sloping upwards in the direction of flow. Such grounding-line positions are known to be unconditionally unstable in the absence of transverse flow ...

Tidal modulation of ice-shelf flow: a viscous model of the Ross Ice Shelf [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2014 AbstractThree stations near the calving front of the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, recorded GPS data through a full spring–neap tidal cycle in November 2005. The data revealed a diurnal horizontal motion that varied both along and transverse to the long-term average velocity direction, similar to tidal signals observed in other ice shelves and ice ...

Deglaciation and ice shelf development at the northeast margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the Younger Dryas chronozone [PDF]
, 2017 Core 2011804‐0010 from easternmost Lancaster Sound provides important insights into deglacial timing and style at the marine margin of the NE Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS). Spanning 13.2–11.0 cal.

Earth System Dynamics, 2019 . The sea level contribution of the Antarctic ice sheet constitutes a large uncertainty in future sea level projections. Here we apply a linear response theory approach to 16 state-of-the-art ice sheet models to estimate the Antarctic ice sheet ...
