The observed acceleration of ice shelf basal melt rates throughout West Antarctica could
destabilize continental ice sheets and markedly increase global sea level. Explanations for …

Ice streams such as Pine Island and Thwaites Glaciers which terminate at their ice shelves
in the eastern Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica, are losing mass faster than most others …

Abstract The Pine Island and Thwaites Ice Shelves (PIIS/TIS) in the Amundsen Sea are
melting rapidly and impacting global sea levels. The thermocline depth (TD) variability, the …

Abstract The Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) and Antarctic Coastal Current advect heat,
freshwater, nutrients, and biological organisms westward around the Antarctic margin …

The continental shelf of the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is characterized by strong along‐
shore hydrographic gradients resulting from the distinct influences of the warm …

The ice shelves in the Bellingshausen Sea are melting and thinning rapidly due to modified
Circumpolar Deep Water (mCDW) intrusions carrying heat toward ice‐shelf cavities …

Meltwater content and pathways determine the impact of Antarctica's melting ice shelves on
ocean circulation and climate. Using ocean glider observations, we quantify meltwater …

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 …

Heat delivered by the ocean circulation is melting the Antarctic ice sheet from below. This
melt is largest where warm Circumpolar Deep Water accesses the continental shelf and …

We investigate statistical properties of surface currents as well as coherent mesoscale
eddies in the seasonally ice‐covered Southern Ocean. Based on a recent regional Sea …
