Antarctic calving loss rivals ice-shelf thinning

CA Greene, AS Gardner, NJ Schlegel, AD Fraser - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Antarctica's ice shelves help to control the flow of glacial ice as it drains into the ocean,
meaning that the rate of global sea-level rise is subject to the structural integrity of these …

Global environmental consequences of twenty-first-century ice-sheet melt
