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.

Ocean-forced evolution of the Amundsen Sea catchment, West Antarctica, by 2100 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 The response of ice streams in the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE) to future climate forcing is highly uncertain. Here we present projections of 21st century response of ASE ice streams to modelled local ocean temperature change using a subset of Coupled ...

A thicker Antarctic ice stream during the mid-Pliocene warm period
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Ice streams regulate most ice mass loss in Antarctica. Determining ice stream response to warmer conditions during the Pliocene could provide insights into their future behaviour, but this is hindered by a poor representation of subglacial topography in ...

Sensitivity of the Ross Ice Shelf to environmental and glaciological controls [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 The Ross Ice Shelf (RIS) is currently stable but recent observations have indicated that basal melt rates beneath the ice shelf are expected to increase.

Footprint of the Baltic Ice Stream: geomorphic evidence for shifting ice stream pathways
Boreas, 2023 The Baltic Ice Stream, a large fast‐flowing sector of the last Fennoscandian Ice Sheet that occupied the present‐day Baltic Sea basin, was first conceptualized in the earliest days of glacial geological research in Scandinavia. Landform and sedimentological evidence from the terrestrial margins support the concept and numerical ice‐sheet models ...

Range of 21st century ice mass changes in the Filchner-Ronne region of Antarctica
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Increases in ocean temperatures in the Filchner Ronne region of Antarctica are likely to result in increased ice mass loss and sea level rise. We constrain projections of the 21st century sea level contribution of this region using process-based ice ...

, 2021 <div>Ice streams are the arteries through which a large fraction of the ice lost from Antarctica is discharged. With the introduction of "higher order" mechanics, the representation of ice streams in ice sheet models appears to have become more robust, eliminating previously ubiquitous grid effects.

Modelling dynamic ice-sheet boundaries and grounding line migration using the level set method
Journal of Glaciology, 2020 Computing predictions of future sea level that include well-defined uncertainty bounds requires models that are capable of robustly simulating the evolution of ice sheets and glaciers.

Ice velocity changes in the Ross and Ronne sectors observed using satellite radar data from 1997 and 2009 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2012 We report changes in ice velocity of a 6.5 million km<sup>2</sup> region around South Pole encompassing the Filchner-Ronne and Ross Ice Shelves and a significant portion of the ice streams and glaciers that constitute their catchment areas ...

Annals of Glaciology, 2023 Upernavik Isstrøm, the largest contributor to sea-level rise in northwest Greenland, has experienced complex and contrasting ice-flow-speed changes across its five outlets over the last two decades.
