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.

Annual mass budget of Antarctic ice shelves from 1997 to 2021. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2023 Antarctic ice shelves moderate the contribution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to global sea level rise; however, ice shelf health remains poorly constrained. Here, we present the annual mass budget of all Antarctic ice shelves from 1997 to 2021.

Change in Antarctic ice shelf area from 2009 to 2019 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Antarctic ice shelves provide buttressing support to the ice sheet, stabilising the flow of grounded ice and its contribution to global sea levels. Over the past 50 years, satellite observations have shown ice shelves collapse, thin, and retreat; however,

Ice-shelf ocean boundary layer dynamics from large-eddy simulations [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Small-scale turbulent flow below ice shelves is regionally isolated and difficult to measure and simulate. Yet these small-scale processes, which regulate heat and salt transfer between the ocean and ice shelves, can affect sea-level rise by altering ...

The role of föhn winds in eastern Antarctic Peninsula rapid ice shelf collapse [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Ice shelf collapse reduces buttressing and enables grounded glaciers to contribute more rapidly to sea-level rise in a warming climate. The abrupt collapses of the Larsen A (1995) and B (2002) ice shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) occurred, at ...

A 15-year circum-Antarctic iceberg calving dataset derived from continuous satellite observations [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2021 Iceberg calving is the main process that facilitates the dynamic mass loss of ice sheets into the ocean, which accounts for approximately half of the mass loss of the Antarctic ice sheet.

Modeling Ice Shelf/Ocean Interaction in Antarctica: A Review [PDF]
Oceanography, 2016 The most rapid loss of ice from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is observed where ice streams flow into the ocean and begin to float, forming the great Antarctic ice shelves that surround much of the continent.

International Journal of Digital Earth, 2023 Ice shelves play an essential role in the dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheet. The surface meltwater is important, as it can irreversibly weaken ice shelves by exerting additional hydrostatic pressure.

Creep deformation and buttressing capacity of damaged ice shelves: theory and application to Larsen C ice shelf [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2013 Around the perimeter of Antarctica, much of the ice sheet discharges to the ocean through floating ice shelves. The buttressing provided by ice shelves is critical for modulating the flux of ice into the ocean, and the presently observed thinning of
