Melting is pervasive along the ice surrounding Antarctica. On the surface of the grounded ice
sheet and floating ice shelves, extensive networks of lakes, streams and rivers both store …

Calving of icebergs is an important component of mass loss from the polar ice sheets and
glaciers in many parts of the world. Calving rates can increase dramatically in response to …

Ice flow models of the Antarctic ice sheet are commonly used to simulate its future evolution
in response to different climate scenarios and inform on the mass loss that would contribute …

Understanding the causes of recent catastrophic ice shelf disintegrations is a crucial step
towards improving coupled models of the Antarctic Ice Sheet and predicting its future state …

This chapter considers changes in global mean sea level, regional sea level, sea level
extremes, and waves. Confidence in projections of global mean sea level rise has increased …

Glaciers and Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and
accessible, it has established a reputation as a comprehensive and essential resource. In …

Iceberg calving from all Antarctic ice shelves has never been directly measured, despite
playing a crucial role in ice sheet mass balance. Rapid changes to iceberg calving naturally …

In recent decades, seven out of twelve ice shelves around the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) have
either retreated significantly or have been almost entirely lost. At least some of these retreats …

To understand how planet Earth works we study it increasingly as a system–a collection of
interdependent parts or spheres–the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the …

The last decade witnessed an explosion in yearly number of publications on passive glacier
seismology. The seismic signals from a wide range of glacier‐related processes fill a broad …
