Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...

Abstract In this study, we present a mix of full‐depth profiles and near‐bottom observations of dissolved 230Th and 232Th from the Adélie Land margin in East Antarctica, a key site of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) formation. We show that the distribution of dissolved Th isotopes in this region is governed by a combination of reversible scavenging ...

An ice-sheet scale comparison of eskers with modelled subglacial drainage routes [PDF]
Eskers record the signature of channelised meltwater drainage during deglaciation providing vital information on the nature and evolution of subglacial drainage.

Imaging the firn of the Antarctic ice sheet with traffic noise
The firn layer in the upper part of the Antarctic ice sheet represents a crucial transitional zone during the transformation from snow to glacial ice, and its structural characteristics play an essential role in evaluating the surface mass balance of the

Abstract Subglacial sedimentary basins in Antarctica are hypothesized to modulate ice flow and biogeochemical cycles via groundwater and geothermal feedbacks, yet their properties remain poorly constrained. Here, we present a joint quantitative analysis of new magnetotelluric (MT) data acquired at Thwaites Glacier (TG) and WAIS Divide, alongside legacy

Internal Structure and Formation Process of a Giant East Antarctic Grounding‐Zone Wedge
Abstract The marine‐based portions of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet are currently losing mass at an accelerating rate due to atmospheric and oceanic forcing. Assessing these changes requires understanding long‐term grounding‐zone dynamics preserved in glacial geomorphology, including understudied East Antarctic shelf sectors.
