Residence Time and Transformation of Warm Circumpolar Deep Water on the Antarctic Continental Shelf
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Inflow of warm modified Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) onto the Antarctic continental shelf and into ice shelf cavities is a key driver of Antarctic ice shelf mass loss.

Journal of Glaciology, 1950 Description of that part of the Larsen Shelf Ice traversed by the author when taking part in a sledging expedition which reached lat. 74° 42′ S., manned jointly by members of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition 1946–48.

The air content of Larsen Ice Shelf [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2011 The air content of glacial firn determines the effect and attribution of observed changes in ice surface elevation, but is currently measurable only using labor-intensive ground-based techniques. Here a novel method is presented for using radar sounding measurements to decompose the total thickness of floating ice shelves into thicknesses of solid ice ...

Foehn warming distributions in nonlinear and linear flow regimes: a focus on the Antarctic Peninsula [PDF]
, 2016 The structure of lee-side warming during foehn events is investigated as a function of cross-barrier flow regime linearity. Two contrasting cases of westerly flow over the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) are considered – one highly nonlinear, the other ...

The Effects of Rotation and Ice Shelf Topography on Frazil-Laden Ice Shelf Water Plumes [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2006 Abstract A model of the dynamics and thermodynamics of a plume of meltwater at the base of an ice shelf is presented. Such ice shelf water plumes may become supercooled and deposit marine ice if they rise (because of the pressure decrease in the in situ freezing temperature), so the model incorporates both melting and freezing at the ice

History of the Larsen C Ice Shelf reconstructed from sub–ice shelf and offshore sediments [PDF]
Geology, 2021 Abstract Because ice shelves respond to climatic forcing over a range of time scales, from years to millennia, an understanding of their long-term history is critically needed for predicting their future evolution. We present the first detailed reconstruction of the Larsen C Ice Shelf (LCIS), eastern Antarctic Peninsula (AP), based on ...

Rapid submarine ice melting in the grounding zones of ice shelves in West Antarctica. [PDF]
, 2016 Enhanced submarine ice-shelf melting strongly controls ice loss in the Amundsen Sea embayment (ASE) of West Antarctica, but its magnitude is not well known in the critical grounding zones of the ASE's major glaciers.

WIREs Climate Change, 2020 The calving of A‐68, the 5,800‐km2, 1‐trillion‐ton iceberg shed from the Larsen C Ice Shelf in July 2017, is one of over 10 significant ice‐shelf loss events in the past few decades resulting from rapid warming around the Antarctic Peninsula.

Modeling ice shelf cavities in a z coordinate ocean general circulation model [PDF]
, 2008 . Processes at the ice shelf-ocean interface and in particular in ice shelf cavities around Antarctica have an observable effect on the solutions of basin scale to global coupled ice-ocean models.

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022 The processes responsible for freshwater flux from the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), ice‐shelf basal melting and iceberg calving, are generally poorly represented in current Earth System Models (ESMs).
