The Southern Ocean is disproportionately important in its effect on the Earth system,
impacting climatic, biogeochemical, and ecological systems, which makes recent observed …

Abstract The Pope, Smith and Kohler glaciers, in the Amundsen Sea Embayment of West
Antarctica, have experienced enhanced ocean-induced ice-shelf melt, glacier acceleration …

Strong heat loss and brine release during sea ice formation in coastal polynyas act to cool
and salinify waters on the Antarctic continental shelf. Polynya activity thus both limits the …

The total number of drones used in the air, on the land and in the water is growing in recent
years. This review focuses on ocean robots and in particular on glider technology which …

While twentieth century sea-level rise was dominated by thermal expansion of ocean water,
mass loss from glaciers and ice sheets is now a larger annual contributor. There is …

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 …

Ice shelves play a vital role in regulating loss of grounded ice and in supplying freshwater to
coastal seas. However, melt variability within ice shelves is poorly constrained and may be …

Antarctica's ice shelves buttress the continent's terrestrial ice, helping slow the loss of
grounded ice into the ocean and limiting sea level rise. Ice-ocean interaction plays a critical …

A big challenge in environmental monitoring is the spatiotemporal variation of the
phenomena to be observed. To enable persistent sensing and estimation in such a setting, it …

Ocean stratification and the vertical extent of the mixed layer influence the rate at which the
ocean and atmosphere exchange properties. This process has direct impacts for …
