A holistic review is given of the Southern Ocean dynamic system, in the context of the crucial
role it plays in the global climate and the profound changes it is experiencing. The review …

Antarctica's ice shelves help to control the flow of glacial ice as it drains into the ocean,
meaning that the rate of global sea-level rise is subject to the structural integrity of these …

Abstract The Pine Island and Thwaites Ice Shelves (PIIS/TIS) in the Amundsen Sea are
melting rapidly and impacting global sea levels. The thermocline depth (TD) variability, the …

Floating ice shelves buttress the Antarctic Ice Sheet, which is losing mass rapidly mainly due
to ocean-driven melting and the associated disruption to glacial dynamics. The local ocean …

The understanding of glacier and ice shelf front changes is of paramount importance in
analyzing their material balance and their significant contributions to global sea-level …

Little is known about Antarctic subglacial hydrology, but based on modeling, theory and
indirect observations it is thought that subglacial runoff enhances submarine melt locally …

In the Antarctic coast, ice shelves are rapidly thinning and retreating due to global warming.
Basal melt water influences marine life, particularly the phytoplankton, which are directly …

Abstract The Amundsen Sea in the Pacific sector of West Antarctica receives meltwater from
the fastest retreating Antarctic glaciers, and its coastal polynyas host the highest primary …

The heat transfer between the warm oceanic water and the floating portion of the Antarctic
ice sheet (the ice shelves) occurs in a dynamic environment with year‐to‐year changes in …

The inflow of warm and salty Circumpolar Deep Water affects the melting of the ice shelf on
the Amundsen Sea, a significant contributor to global sea level rise. Multi‐year mooring data …
