The sensitivity of the Antarctic ice sheet to a changing climate: Past, present, and future
Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is out of equilibrium with the current anthropogenic‐
enhanced climate forcing. Paleoenvironmental records and ice sheet models reveal that the …

Meltwater intrusions reveal mechanisms for rapid submarine melt at a tidewater glacier
Submarine melting has been implicated as a driver of glacier retreat and sea level rise, but
to date melting has been difficult to observe and quantify. As a result, melt rates have been …

An improved and observationally‐constrained melt rate parameterization for vertical ice fronts of marine terminating glaciers
Submarine melting at Greenland's marine terminating glaciers is a crucial, yet poorly
constrained process in the coupled ice‐ocean system. Application of Antarctic melt rate …

Subglacial plumes
IJ Hewitt - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Buoyant plumes form when glacial ice melts directly into the ocean or when subglacial
meltwater is discharged to the ocean at depth. They play a key role in regulating heat …

How Does the Ocean Melt Antarctic Ice Shelves?
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 …

A synthesis of thermodynamic ablation at ice–ocean interfaces from theory, observations and models
Thermodynamic ablation of ice in contact with the ocean is an essential element of ice sheet
and ocean interactions but is challenging to model and quantify. Building on earlier …
