West Antarctica has formed the tectonically active margin between East Antarctica and the
Pacific Ocean for almost half a billion years, where it has recorded a dynamic history of …

Radar sounding is a powerful geophysical approach for characterizing the subsurface
conditions of terrestrial and planetary ice masses at local to global scales. As a result, a wide …

The Antarctic ice sheet has been losing mass over past decades through the accelerated
flow of its glaciers, conditioned by ocean temperature and bed topography. Glaciers …

Quantifying changes in Earth's ice sheets and identifying the climate drivers are central to
improving sea level projections. We provide unified estimates of grounded and floating ice …

Ocean-driven basal melting of Antarctica's floating ice shelves accounts for about half of
their mass loss in steady state, where gains in ice-shelf mass are balanced by losses. Ice …

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 …

While twentieth century sea-level rise was dominated by thermal expansion of ocean water,
mass loss from glaciers and ice sheets is now a larger annual contributor. There is …

Abstract Early to Middle Miocene sea-level oscillations of approximately 40–60 m estimated
from far-field records,–are interpreted to reflect the loss of virtually all East Antarctic ice …

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 …

Abstract The Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) are one of Earth's great mountain belts and
are a fundamental physiographic feature of Antarctica. They are continental-scale, traverse a …
