Can rifts alter ocean dynamics beneath ice shelves? [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Land ice discharge from the Antarctic continent into the ocean is restrained by ice shelves, floating extensions of grounded ice that buttress the glacier outflow.

MOSAICKING VERY-HIGH-RESOLUTION HELICOPTER-BORNE IMAGES ACQUIRED OVER DRIFTING ARCTIC SEA ICE USING COTS SENSORS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018 In order to observe and record conditions of the sea ice efficiently and specifically during in-situ investigation with the support of icebreaker research vessel (IBRV), the very-high-resolution (VHR) imaging systems have been used in recent past.

An ice-shelf model test based on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1996 A standard numerical experiment featuring the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, is presented as a test package for the development and intercomparison of ice-shelf models. The emphasis of this package is solution of stress-equilibrium equations for an ice-shelf velocity consistent with present observations.

Marine ice in Larsen Ice Shelf [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2009 It is argued that Larsen Ice Shelf contains marine ice formed by oceanic freezing and other mechanisms. Missing basal returns in airborne radar soundings and observations of a smooth and healed surface coincide downstream of regions where an ocean model predicts freezing.

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.

Ice-shelf damming in the glacial Arctic Ocean: dynamical regimes of a basin-covering kilometre-thick ice shelf [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Recent geological and geophysical data suggest that a 1 km thick ice shelf extended over the glacial Arctic Ocean during Marine Isotope Stage 6, about 140 000 years ago.

Time-Dependent Modelling of the Wave-Induced Vibration of Ice Shelves
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 This work presents an investigation of ice shelf vibration using a model based on shallow water approximation. The study focused on the effect of changes in the draft on the vibration of the ice shelf and presents both time-domain and frequency-domain ...

Southern Weddell Sea surface freshwater flux modulated by icescape and atmospheric forcing [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2023 Sea ice formation dominates surface salt forcing in the southern Weddell Sea. Brine rejected in the process of sea ice production results in the production of High Salinity Shelf Water (HSSW) that feeds the global overturning circulation and fuels the ...

The distribution and evolution of surface fractures on pan-Antarctic ice shelves
International Journal of Digital Earth, 2023 Surface fractures have a great impact on ice shelf stability in Antarctica and can be considered precursors of ice shelf calving. However, our understanding of the spatial distribution and temporal evolution of surface fractures on the Antarctic ice ...

Abatement of Ocean-Wave Impact by Crevasses in an Ice Shelf
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Forced ice-shelf oscillations modeling was undertaken employing a full 3D finite-difference model of an elastic ice shelf that was coupled to a treatment of under-shelf seawater flux.
