Antarctic landfast sea ice (fast ice) is stationary sea ice that is attached to the coast,
grounded icebergs, ice shelves, or other protrusions on the continental shelf. Fast ice forms …

Basal melt of ice shelves is not only an important part of Antarctica's ice sheet mass budget,
but it is also the origin of platelet ice, one of the most distinctive types of sea ice. In many …

Antarctic sea ice that has been affected by supercooled Ice Shelf Water (ISW) has a unique
crystallographic structure and is called platelet ice. In this paper we synthesize platelet ice …

Variability in the volume of supercooled Ice Shelf Water outflow in McMurdo Sound is
reflected in the thickness and distribution of fast ice and the sub‐ice platelet layer beneath …

The formation of platelet ice is well known to occur under Antarctic sea ice, where subice
platelet layers form from supercooled ice shelf water. In the Arctic, however, platelet ice …

Ice shelves strongly interact with coastal Antarctic sea ice and the associated ecosystem by
creating conditions favorable to the formation of a sub‐ice platelet layer. The close …

The shape of ice shelf cavities are a major source of uncertainty in understanding ice‐ocean
interactions. This limits assessments of the response of the Antarctic ice sheets to climate …

Tides significantly affect polar coastlines by modulating ice shelf melt and modifying shelf
water properties through transport and mixing. However, the effect of tides on the marine …

Sea ice seasonally to interannually forms a thermal, chemical, and physical boundary
between the atmosphere and hydrosphere over tens of millions of square kilometers of …

In Antarctica, ice crystals emerge from ice shelf cavities and accumulate in unconsolidated
layers beneath nearby sea ice. Such sub‐ice platelet layers form a unique habitat and serve …
