S Ehrenfeucht, E Rignot… - Geophysical Research …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding grounding line dynamics is critical for projecting glacier evolution and sea
level rise. Observations from satellite radar interferometry reveal rapid grounding line …

Grounding zones: The “inland” dynamic interface between seawater, outlet glaciers, subglacial meltwater routing, and ice‐shelf processes

BR Parizek - Geophysical Research Letters, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Projections of sea‐level rise from ice‐sheet shrinkage in a warming world have large
uncertainties, linked to limited knowledge of changes at the ocean‐ice sheet interface. This …

Basal channels, ice thinning and grounding zone retreat at Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica

AM Chartrand, IM Howat, IR Joughin… - …, 2024 - egusphere.copernicus.org
Antarctic ice shelves buttress the flow of the ice sheet, tempering sea level rise, but they are
vulnerable to basal melting from contact with the ocean, as well as mass loss due to fracture …
