Oceanographic conditions beneath Fimbul Ice Shelf, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2012 Antarctic ice shelves play a key role in the global climate system, acting as important sites for the cooling of shelf waters, thereby facilitating deep and bottom water formation.

Clouds drive differences in future surface melt over the Antarctic ice shelves
The Cryosphere, 2021 . Recent warm atmospheric conditions have damaged the ice shelves of the Antarctic Peninsula through surface melt and hydrofracturing, and could potentially initiate future collapse of other Antarctic ice shelves.

Importance of seasonal and annual layers in controlling backscatter to radar altimeters across the percolation zone of an ice sheet [PDF]
, 2006 Radar altimeters are one of the main tools for measuring elevation changes across the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets and larger ice caps. A ground-based radar was deployed in autumn 2004 and spring 2006 in the percolation zone of the Greenland Ice ...

Basal Melting, Roughness and Structural Integrity of Ice Shelves
, 2022 Ice shelves restrict outflow from many of the largest glaciers in Antarctica, thus limiting the Antarctic contribution to sea‐level rise. However, past ice‐shelf collapse events show they are highly vulnerable to surface and basal melting.

Liquid Brine in Ice Shelves [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1975 Holes drilled into thin areas of the Brunt Ice Shelf encounter a layer of liquid brine less than 1 m thick approximately at sea-level. Assuming the brine to be moving horizontally, analysis of its effects on thermal equilibrium gives an estimate of steady-state annual brine flow that is in good agreement with the value deduced from a percolation model.

Enhancement factors for grounded ice and ice shelves inferred from an anisotropic ice-flow model [PDF]
, 2010 Polar ice is known to be one of the most anisotropic natural materials. For a given fabric the polycrystal viscous response is strongly dependent on the actual state of stress and strain rate.

Explicit representation and parametrised impacts of under ice shelf seas in the z∗ coordinate ocean model NEMO 3.6 [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2017 Ice-shelf–ocean interactions are a major source of freshwater on the Antarctic continental shelf and have a strong impact on ocean properties, ocean circulation and sea ice.

Automatic Extraction of the Calving Front of Pine Island Glacier Based on Neural Network
Remote Sensing, 2023 Calving front location plays a crucial role in studying ice–ocean interaction, mapping glacier area change, and constraining ice dynamic models. However, relying solely on visual interpretation to extract annual changes in the calving front of ice ...

Speed-up, slowdown, and redirection of ice flow on neighbouring ice streams in the Pope, Smith, and Kohler region of West Antarctica [PDF]
The CryosphereThe ice streams feeding the Dotson and Crosson ice shelves are some of the fastest changing in West Antarctica. We use satellite observations to measure the change in ice speed and flow direction on eight ice streams in the Pope, Smith, and Kohler region

Diverging future surface mass balance between the Antarctic ice shelves and grounded ice sheet
The Cryosphere, 2020 . The future surface mass balance (SMB) will influence the ice dynamics and the contribution of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) to the sea level rise.
