Antarctic Peninsula warming triggers enhanced basal melt rates throughout West Antarctica
MM Flexas, AF Thompson, MP Schodlok, H Zhang… - Science …, 2022 - science.org
The observed acceleration of ice shelf basal melt rates throughout West Antarctica could

On the multiscale oceanic heat transports toward the bases of the Antarctic ice shelves
The mass balance of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is important to global sea-level change.
The AIS loses mass mainly through basal melting and subsequent calving of the Antarctic …

Swirls and scoops: Ice base melt revealed by multibeam imagery of an Antarctic ice shelf
Knowledge gaps about how the ocean melts Antarctica's ice shelves, borne from a lack of
observations, lead to large uncertainties in sea level predictions. Using high-resolution …

Antarctic slope current modulates ocean heat intrusions towards Totten Glacier
The Totten ice shelf (TIS) in East Antarctica has received increasing attention in recent years
due to high basal melt rates, which have been linked to a presence of warm modified …

Vulnerability of Denman Glacier to ocean heat flux revealed by profiling float observations
Denman Glacier, which drains a marine‐based sector of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet with an
ice volume equivalent to 1.5 m of global sea level rise, has accelerated and undergone …

Residence time and transformation of warm Circumpolar Deep Water on the Antarctic continental shelf
Inflow of warm modified Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) onto the Antarctic continental shelf
and into ice shelf cavities is a key driver of Antarctic ice shelf mass loss. While recent …

Ocean variability beneath thwaites eastern ice shelf driven by the Pine Island Bay Gyre strength
West Antarctic ice-shelf thinning is primarily caused by ocean-driven basal melting. Here we
assess ocean variability below Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf (TEIS) and reveal the importance …

Observations of modified warm deep water beneath ronne ice shelf, Antarctica, from an autonomous underwater vehicle
Abstract Filchner‐Ronne Ice Shelf (FRIS) is the world's largest ice shelf by volume. It helps
regulate Antarctica's contribution to global sea level rise, and water mass transformations …

Wind‐induced variability of warm water on the southern Bellingshausen Sea continental shelf
R Oelerich, KJ Heywood, GM Damerell… - Journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Bellingshausen Sea hosts heat transport onto the continental shelf, potentially
enhancing ice shelf basal melt. Here, we use the GLORYS12V1 1993–2018 reanalysis to …
