Early Last Interglacial ocean warming drove substantial ice mass loss from Antarctica
The future response of the Antarctic ice sheet to rising temperatures remains highly
uncertain. A useful period for assessing the sensitivity of Antarctica to warming is the Last …

Twenty-first-century warming of a large Antarctic ice-shelf cavity by a redirected coastal current
HH Hellmer, F Kauker, R Timmermann, J Determann… - Nature, 2012 - nature.com
The Antarctic ice sheet loses mass at its fringes bordering the Southern Ocean. At this
boundary, warm circumpolar water can override the continental slope front, reaching the …

Strong surface melting preceded collapse of Antarctic Peninsula ice shelf
M van den Broeke - Geophysical Research Letters, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
During the austral summer of 2001/02, melting at the surface of Larsen Ice Shelf in the
Antarctic Peninsula was three times greater than the average of five previous summers. This …

Impacts of warm water on Antarctic ice shelf stability through basal channel formation
Antarctica's ice shelves provide resistance to the flow of grounded ice towards the ocean. If
this resistance is decreased as a result of ice shelf thinning or disintegration, acceleration of …
