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 ...

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.

Journal of Climate, 2022 We calculate a regional surface “melt potential” index (MPI) over Antarctic ice shelves that describes the frequency (MPI-freq, %) and intensity (MPI-int, K) of daily maximum summer temperatures exceeding a melt threshold of 273.15 K.

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

On the Multiscale Oceanic Heat Transports Toward the Bases of the Antarctic Ice Shelves
Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research, 2023 The mass balance of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is important to global sea-level change. The AIS loses mass mainly through basal melting and subsequent calving of the Antarctic ice shelves.

Brief communication: widespread potential for seawater infiltration on Antarctic ice shelves [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Antarctica's future contribution to sea level change depends on the fate of its fringing ice shelves. One factor which may affect the rate of iceberg calving from ice shelves is the presence of liquid water, including the percolation of seawater into ...

Eddy and tidal driven basal melting of the Totten and Moscow University ice shelves
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The mass loss from the neighboring Totten and Moscow University ice shelves is accelerating and may raise global sea levels in coming centuries. Totten Glacier is mostly based on bedrock below sea level, and so is vulnerable to warm water intrusion ...

Brief communication: A submarine wall protecting the Amundsen Sea intensifies melting of neighboring ice shelves [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 Disintegration of ice shelves in the Amundsen Sea, in front of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, has the potential to cause sea level rise by inducing an acceleration of ice discharge from upstream grounded ice. Moore et al.

Surface Melt and Runoff on Antarctic Ice Shelves at 1.5°C, 2°C, and 4°C of Future Warming
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 The future surface mass balance (SMB) of Antarctic ice shelves has not been constrained with models of sufficient resolution and complexity. Here, we force the high‐resolution Modèle Atmosphérique Régional with future simulations from four CMIP models to
