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 …

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 …

Recent ice loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has been caused by ocean melting of ice
shelves in the Amundsen Sea. Eastward wind anomalies at the shelf break enhance the …

Climate model projections have previously been used to compute ice shelf basal melt rates
in ice sheet models, but the strategies employed–eg, ocean input, parameterization …

Mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is driven by changes at the marine margins. In the
Amundsen Sea, thinning of the ice shelves has allowed the outlet glaciers to accelerate and …

Abstract Pine Island Glacier (PIG), a part of the West Antarctic marine ice sheet, has recently
undergone substantial changes including speed up, retreat and thinning. Theoretical …

Ocean-driven ice loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is a significant contributor to sea-
level rise. Recent ocean variability in the Amundsen Sea is controlled by near-surface …

Coupled ice sheet–ocean models capable of simulating moving grounding lines are just
becoming available. Such models have a broad range of potential applications in studying …

The combination of the Pine Island Ice Shelf (PIIS) draft and a seabed ridge beneath it form
a topographic barrier, restricting access of warm Circumpolar Deep Water to a cavity inshore …

Over recent decades outlet glaciers of the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE), West
Antarctica, have accelerated, thinned, and retreated, and are now contributing …
