Necessary Conditions for Warm Inflow Toward the Filchner Ice Shelf, Weddell Sea
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Understanding changes in Antarctic ice shelf basal melting is a major challenge for predicting future sea level. Currently, warm Circumpolar Deep Water surrounding Antarctica has limited access to the Weddell Sea continental shelf; consequently, melt ...

Ice Shelf Water plume flow beneath Filchner‐Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2007 A two‐dimensional plume model is used to study the interaction between Filchner‐Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica and its underlying ocean cavity. Ice Shelf Water (ISW) plumes are initiated by the freshwater released from a melting ice shelf and, if they rise, may become supercooled and deposit marine ice due to the pressure increase in the in situ freezing ...

The northern sector of the last British ice sheet : maximum extent and demise [PDF]
, 2008 Strongly divided opinion has led to competing, apparently contradictory, views on the timing, extent, flow configuration and decay mechanism of the last British Ice Sheet.

Calving cycle of the Brunt Ice Shelf, Antarctica, driven by changes in ice-shelf geometry [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 Abstract. Despite the potentially detrimental impact of large-scale calving events on the geometry and ice flow of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, little is known about the processes that drive rift formation prior to calving, or what controls the timing of these events.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2020 Basal melting of ice shelves is a major source of mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet. In situ measurements of ice shelf basal melt rates are sparse, while the more extensive estimates from satellite altimetry require precise information about firn ...

Frazil ice formation in an ice shelf water plume [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2004 We present a model for the growth of frazil ice crystals and their accumulation as marine ice at the base of Antarctic ice shelves. The model describes the flow of buoyant water upward along the ice shelf base and includes the differential growth of a range of crystal sizes.

Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Mass loss from ice shelves is a strong control on grounding-line dynamics. Here we investigate how calving and submarine melt parameterizations affect steady-state grounding-line positions and their stability.

The effect of buttressing on grounding line dynamics [PDF]
, 2018 Determining the position and stability of the grounding line of a marine ice sheet is a major challenge for ice-sheet models. Here, we investigate the role of lateral shear and ice-shelf buttressing in grounding line dynamics by extending an existing ...

Simulating ice-shelf extent using damage mechanics
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Inaccurate representations of iceberg calving from ice shelves are a large source of uncertainty in mass-loss projections from the Antarctic ice sheet. Here, we address this limitation by implementing and testing a continuum damage-mechanics model in a ...
