Locally grounded features in ice shelves, called ice rises and rumples, play a key role
buttressing discharge from the Antarctic Ice Sheet and regulating its contribution to sea level …

This study evaluates the temporal variability of the Antarctic surface mass balance,
approximated as precipitation minus evaporation (P− E), and Southern Ocean precipitation …

Climate trends in the Antarctic region remain poorly characterized, owing to the brevity and
scarcity of direct climate observations and the large magnitude of interannual to decadal …

In Earth system models, terrestrial snow is usually modeled by the land surface component.
In most cases, these snow models have been developed with an emphasis on seasonal …

Firn simulations are essential for understanding Antarctic ice sheet mass change, as they
enable us to convert satellite altimetry observed volume changes to mass changes and …

Agosta, C., V. Favier, G. Krinner, H. Gallée, X. Fettweis, and C. Genthon, 2013: High-
resolution modelling of the Antarctic surface mass balance, application for the twentieth …

Enhanced snowfall on the East Antarctic ice sheet is projected to significantly mitigate 21st
century global sea level rise. In recent years (2009 and 2011), regionally extreme snowfall …

Global climate models suggest that Antarctic snowfall should increase in a warming climate
and mitigate rises in the sea level. Several processes affect surface mass balance (SMB) …

Past temperature reconstructions from Antarctic ice cores require a good quantification and
understanding of the relationship between snow isotopic composition and 2 m air or …

Ice rises and rumples, locally grounded features adjacent to ice shelves, are relatively small
yet play significant roles in Antarctic ice dynamics. Their roles generally depend upon their …
