Regimes and transitions in the basal melting of Antarctic ice shelves

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2022
The Antarctic Ice Sheet is losing mass as a result of increased ocean-driven melting of its fringing ice shelves. Efforts to represent the effects of basal melting in sea level projections are undermined by poor understanding of the turbulent ice shelf ...

Deep learning the flow law of Antarctic ice shelves.

Science
Antarctic ice shelves buttress the grounded ice sheet, mitigating global sea level rise. However, fundamental mechanical properties, such as the ice flow law and viscosity structure, remain under debate.

Ice shelves and ice flow

Nature, 1975
New data on the Ross Ice Shelf provide an insight into the importance of the momentum with which an ice stream enters the shelf for the overall velocity field.

The flow and fracture of Antarctic Ice Shelves

2023
This thesis explores the deformation of glacier ice, with an aim of deriving insights into its flow and fracture through satellite remote sensing methods. Glaciers deform through the driving force of their own weight and display dramatic responses to both external forcing, such as changes in climate, and internal forcing like variations in stress. Here,

Flow Law for Antarctic Ice Shelves

Nature Physical Science, 1971
ICE shelves are floating glaciers which are attached to an inland ice sheet or to land. They creep under their own weight, the creep rates being dependent on the ice flow law at low stresses.

The Flow of Ice Sheets and Ice Shelves

1993
A brief survey of the mathematical and numerical modelling of ice sheet and ice shelf flows is presented, emphasising the developments over the last decade. For the very slow gravity driven flow of natural ice masses over time scales of thousands of years, the ice is modelled by an incompressible non-linearly viscous fluid with a temperature dependent ...

The area of ice shelves in Antarctica

Polar Record, 1964
In Polar Record, Vol 11, No 75,1963, p 735, I. A. Suyetova made calculations of the area of Antarctica and of its major ice shelves based on published and unpublished material available up to 1961. Suyetova's estimate of the area of the ice shelves, excluding attached islands and ice rises, is 1–38 × 106 km2.
