Regimes and transitions in the basal melting of Antarctic ice shelves
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2022The 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 ...

An assessment of basal melting parameterisations for Antarctic ice shelves
The Cryosphere, 2021Ocean-induced melting at the base of ice shelves is one of the main drivers of the currently observed mass loss of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. A good understanding of the interaction between ice and ocean at the base of the ice shelves is therefore crucial ...

Recrystallization of ice enhances the creep and vulnerability to fracture of ice shelves
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2021The initiation and propagation of fractures in floating regions of Antarctica has the potential to destabilize large regions of the ice sheet, leading to significant sea-level rise. While observations have shown rapid, localized deformation and damage in

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 of Ice Sheets and Ice Shelves [PDF]
, 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, 1964In 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p 735, I. A. Suyetova made calculations of the area of Antarctica and of its major ice shelves based on published and unpublished material available up to 1961.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.

Flow lines on Antarctic ice shelves
Polar Record, 1980Satellite images of Ronne and Filchner ice shelves show a variety of surface features many of which are believed to indicate flow lines in the ice. Sufficient imagery is now available from Landsat satellites to plot these features from mosaics. Although some of the features have been recognized from aircraft, it was not until an overall view was ...

Microbiota under Antarctic ice shelves [PDF]
Nature, 1977 WHETHER or not life can exist far from the open sea beneath the permanent ice shelves of Antarctica is not known, but there are three opinions. (1) A biota cannot exist at all because of the absence of surface primary and secondary productivity1. (2) A biota exists but with specialisations unique to life in the absence of surface productivity and in ...
