Constraining how much and how fast the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) will change in the
coming decades has recently been identified as the highest priority in Antarctic research …

Over recent decades outlet glaciers of the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE), West
Antarctica, have accelerated, thinned, and retreated, and are now contributing …

Mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is driven by changes at the marine margins. In the
Amundsen Sea, thinning of the ice shelves has allowed the outlet glaciers to accelerate and …

Warm ocean waters drive rapid ice‐shelf melting in the Amundsen Sea. The ocean heat
transport toward the ice shelves is associated with the Amundsen Undercurrent, a near …

Glaciological and oceanographic observations coupled with numerical models show that
warm Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) incursions onto the West Antarctic continental shelf …

Abstract Pine Island Glacier (PIG) terminates in a rapidly melting ice shelf, and ocean
circulation and temperature are implicated in the retreat and growing contribution to sea …

Widespread ice shelf thinning has been recorded in the Amundsen Sea in recent decades,
driven by basal melting and intrusions of relatively warm Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) …

Ice shelves play a vital role in regulating loss of grounded ice and in supplying freshwater to
coastal seas. However, melt variability within ice shelves is poorly constrained and may be …

Totten Glacier in East Antarctica has the potential to raise global sea level by at least 3.5 m,
but its sensitivity to climate change has not been well understood. The glacier is coupled to …

The presence of warm Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) intrusions on the Amundsen
continental shelf has been linked to recent thinning of the outlet glaciers draining the West …
