Mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet has increased over the past two decades, currently
accounting for 25% of global sea-level rise. This is due to increased surface melt driven by …

All exchanges between the open ocean and the Antarctic continental shelf must cross the
Antarctic Slope Current (ASC). Previous studies indicate that these exchanges are strongly …

The floating ice tongue of 79 North Glacier, a major outlet glacier of the Northeast Greenland
Ice Stream, has thinned by 30% since 1999. Earlier studies have indicated that long‐term …

Using a conceptual model, we examine how hydraulically controlled exchange flows in
silled fjords affect the relationship between the basal glacier melt and the features of warm …

Previous studies have concluded that the wind-input vorticity in ocean gyres is balanced by
bottom pressure torques (BPT), when integrated over latitude bands. However, the BPT must …

The oceanic connections between tidewater glaciers and continental shelf waters are
modulated and controlled by geometrically complex fjords. These fjords exhibit both …

Circulation and water mass transformation within the Filchner‐Ronne Ice Shelf (FRIS) cavity
create precursors to Antarctic bottom water, which closes the global overturning circulation …

Topographic form stress (TFS) plays a central role in constraining the transport of the
Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), and thus the rate of exchange between the major …

Glacial fjord circulation modulates the connection between marine-terminating glaciers and
the ocean currents offshore. These fjords exhibit a complex 3D circulation with overturning …

Abstract Freshwater from the Greenland Ice Sheet is routed to the ocean through narrow
fjords along the coastline where it impacts ecosystems both within the fjord and on the …
