Interannual variations in meltwater input to the Southern Ocean from Antarctic ice shelves
Ocean-driven basal melting of Antarctica's floating ice shelves accounts for about half of
their mass loss in steady state, where gains in ice-shelf mass are balanced by losses. Ice …

How Does the Ocean Melt Antarctic Ice Shelves?
MG Rosevear, B Gayen, CA Vreugdenhil… - Annual Review of …, 2024 - annualreviews.org
The present-day state and future of the Antarctic Ice Sheet depend on the rate at which the
ocean melts its fringing ice shelves. Ocean heat must cross many physical and dynamical …

Twenty-first century sea-level rise could exceed IPCC projections for strong-warming futures
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 …
