Direct observations of melting, freezing, and ocean circulation in an ice shelf basal crevasse
Ocean conditions near the grounding zones of Antarctica's ice shelves play a key role in
controlling the outflow and mass balance of the ice sheet. However, ocean observations in …

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 …

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 …
