Atmospheric extremes caused high oceanward sea surface slope triggering the biggest calving event in more than 50 years at the Amery Ice Shelf
Ice shelf instability is one of the main sources of uncertainty in Antarctica's contribution to
future sea level rise. Calving events play a crucial role in ice shelf weakening but remain …
