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 …

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 …

Antarctic ice shelves moderate the contribution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to global sea level
rise; however, ice shelf health remains poorly constrained. Here, we present the annual …

A 63‐year observational record in the southwest Ross Sea shows a continuing, near‐linear
salinity decrease of 0.170 and slight warming of 0.013° C through 2020. That freshening …

The Totten ice shelf (TIS) in East Antarctica has received increasing attention in recent years
due to high basal melt rates, which have been linked to a presence of warm modified …

We introduce PARASO, a novel five-component fully-coupled regional climate model over
an Antarctic circumpolar domain covering the full Southern Ocean. The state-of-the-art …

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 …

Intrusion of warm modified Circumpolar Deep Water (mCDW) is critical to heat transport onto
the continental shelf around Antarctica, with substantial impacts on basal melting of ice …

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 …
