A prototype station for ARIANNA: a detector for cosmic neutrinos [PDF]
, 2010 The Antarctic Ross Iceshelf Antenna Neutrino Array (ARIANNA) is a proposed detector for ultra-high energy astrophysical neutrinos. It will detect coherent radio Cherenkov emission from the particle showers produced by neutrinos with energies above about ...

Modelling the fate of surface melt on the Larsen C Ice Shelf [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Surface melt lakes lower the albedo of ice shelves, leading to additional surface melting. This can substantially alter the surface energy balance and internal temperature and density profiles of the ice shelf.

Summer surface melt thins Petermann Gletscher Ice Shelf by enhancing channelized basal melt
Journal of Glaciology, 2019 Increasing ocean and air temperatures have contributed to the removal of floating ice shelves from several Greenland outlet glaciers; however, the specific contribution of these external forcings remains poorly understood.

Marine ice formation in a suture zone on the Larsen C Ice Shelf and its influence on ice shelf dynamics [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2013 AbstractAntarctic ice shelves are fed primarily by the glaciers flowing into them. Downstream of promontories separating these glaciers, supercooled water can rise and freeze into suture zones, leading to the accretion of marine ice. Marine ice bodies have been found in several Antarctic ice shelves, but little is known about their detailed geometry ...

Ocean temperature impact on ice shelf extent in the eastern Antarctic Peninsula
Nature Communications, 2019 The recent thinning and retreat of Antarctic ice shelves has been attributed to both atmosphere and ocean warming. However, the lack of continuous, multi-year direct observations as well as limitations of climate and ice shelf models prevent a precise ...

Evolution of ice-shelf channels in Antarctic ice shelves [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 Abstract. Ice shelves buttress the continental ice flux and mediate ice–ocean interactions. They are often traversed by channels in which basal melting is enhanced, impacting ice-shelf stability. Here, channel evolution is investigated using a transient, three-dimensional full Stokes model and geophysical data collected on Roi Baudouin Ice Shelf (RBIS),

Brief Communication: Can recent ice discharges following the Larsen-B ice-shelf collapse be used to infer the driving mechanisms of millennial-scale variations of the Laurentide ice sheet? [PDF]
, 2011 Discussion paper.The effects of an ice-shelf collapse on inland glacier dynamics have recently been widely studied, especially since the breakup of Antarctic Peninsula's Larsen-B ice shelf in 2002.

Future Projections of Antarctic Ice Shelf Melting Based on CMIP5 Scenarios
Journal of Climate, 2018 Basal melting of Antarctic ice shelves is expected to increase during the twenty-first century as the ocean warms, which will have consequences for ice sheet stability and global sea level rise.

Ice-shelf stability questioned
Nature, 2017 Surface lakes and streams are forming on Antarctica's ice shelves, making them susceptible to instability and possible collapse. But rivers could mitigate this effect by efficiently exporting meltwater to the ocean.
