Iceberg calving accounts for half of the mass discharge from the Greenland and Antarctic ice
sheets, which has increased dramatically over the last two decades. Through their …

Thwaites Glacier represents 15% of the ice discharge from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and
influences a wider catchment,–. Because it is grounded below sea level,, Thwaites Glacier is …

We numerically study the melting process of a solid layer heated from below such that a
liquid melt layer develops underneath. The objective is to quantitatively describe and …

We report on the shape dynamics of ice suspended in cold fresh water and subject to the
natural convective flows generated during melting. Experiments reveal shape motifs for …

The presence of salt in seawater strongly affects the melt rate and the shape evolution of ice,
both of utmost relevance in ice–ocean interactions and thus for the climate. To get a better …

Melting and solidification processes, intertwined with convective flows, play a fundamental
role in geophysical contexts. One of these processes is the formation of melt ponds on …

Antarctic ice shelves are losing mass at increasing rates, yet the ice‐ocean interactions that
cause significant ice loss are not well understood. A new approach of high‐resolution phase …

Iceberg meltwater is a critical freshwater flux from the cryosphere to the oceans. Global
climate simulations therefore require simple and accurate parametrizations of iceberg …

We develop and analyse the first second-order phase-field model to combine melting and
dissolution in multi-component flows. This provides a simple and accurate way to simulate …

We study the conductive and convective states of phase change of pure water in a
rectangular container where two opposite walls are kept respectively at temperatures below …
