The sensitivity of the Antarctic ice sheet to a changing climate: Past, present, and future
Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is out of equilibrium with the current anthropogenic‐
enhanced climate forcing. Paleoenvironmental records and ice sheet models reveal that the …

Mean global ocean temperatures during the last glacial transition
Little is known about the ocean temperature's long-term response to climate perturbations
owing to limited observations and a lack of robust reconstructions. Although most of the …

Warm Circumpolar Deep Water transport toward Antarctica driven by local dense water export in canyons
Poleward transport of warm Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) has been linked to melting of
Antarctic ice shelves. However, even the steady-state spatial distribution and mechanisms of …

Physiographic influences on dense shelf-water cascading down the Antarctic continental slope
D Amblas, JA Dowdeswell - Earth-Science Reviews, 2018 - Elsevier
Predicting the source areas for Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) requires knowledge of how
cold, dense water masses form and move from the Antarctic shelves to the continental slope …

Ocean-ice shelf interaction in East Antarctica
Assessments of the Antarctic contribution to future sea level rise have generally focused on
ice loss in West Antarctica. This focus was motivated by glaciological and oceanographic …

Biological uptake, water mass mixing and scavenging limit the transport of manganese‐rich waters from the East Antarctic shelf
Manganese (Mn) is an essential element involved in photosynthesis, yet its concentrations
in Southern Ocean open waters are very low, arising from biological uptake and limited …

Oceanic heat delivery to the Antarctic continental shelf: Large‐scale, low‐frequency variability
Onshore penetration of oceanic water across the Antarctic continental slope (ACS) plays a
major role in global sea level rise by delivering heat to the Antarctic marginal seas, thus …

Influence of ocean tides and ice shelves on ocean–ice interactions and dense shelf water formation in the D'Urville Sea, Antarctica
Abstract The D'Urville Sea, East Antarctica, is a major source of Dense Shelf Water (DSW), a
precursor of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW). AABW is a key water mass involved in the …

Stratification breakdown in Antarctic coastal polynyas. Part I: Influence of physical factors on the destratification time scale
This study examines the process of water-column stratification breakdown in Antarctic
coastal polynyas adjacent to an ice shelf with a cavity underneath. This first part of a two-part …

Change in dense shelf water and Adélie Land bottom water precipitated by iceberg calving
Abstract Antarctic Bottom Water supplies the deep limb of the global overturning circulation
and ventilates the abyssal ocean. Antarctic Bottom Water has warmed, freshened, and …
