The role of channelized basal melt in ice-shelf stability: recent progress and future priorities
Basal channels, which form where buoyant plumes of ocean water and meltwater carve
troughs upwards into ice-shelf bases, are widespread on Antarctic ice shelves. The …

Melting and refreezing in an ice shelf basal channel at the grounding line of the Kamb Ice Stream, West Antarctica
Ice shelves buttress ice streams and glaciers, slowing the rate at which they flow into the
ocean. When this buttressing is reduced, either through increased melt or calving, the …

Evolution of sub-ice-shelf channels reveals changes in ocean-driven melt in West Antarctica
Basal channels, which are troughs carved into the undersides of ice shelves by buoyant
plumes of water, are modulators of ice-shelf basal melt and structural stability. In this study …
