Intense atmospheric rivers can weaken ice shelf stability at the Antarctic Peninsula
The disintegration of the ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula have spurred much
discussion on the various processes leading to their eventual dramatic collapse, but without …

West Antarctic surface melt triggered by atmospheric rivers
Recent major melting events in West Antarctica have raised concerns about a potential
hydrofracturing and ice shelf instability. These events often share common forcings of …

Surface melt and runoff on Antarctic ice shelves at 1.5 C, 2 C, and 4 C of future warming
The future surface mass balance (SMB) of Antarctic ice shelves has not been constrained
with models of sufficient resolution and complexity. Here, we force the high‐resolution …

Antarctic ecosystem responses following ice‐shelf collapse and iceberg calving: Science review and future research
The calving of A‐68, the 5,800‐km2, 1‐trillion‐ton iceberg shed from the Larsen C Ice Shelf
in July 2017, is one of over 10 significant ice‐shelf loss events in the past few decades …

More frequent atmospheric rivers slow the seasonal recovery of Arctic sea ice
In recent decades, Arctic sea-ice coverage underwent a drastic decline in winter, when sea
ice is expected to recover following the melting season. It is unclear to what extent …

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 …
