Buoyant plumes form when glacial ice melts directly into the ocean or when subglacial
meltwater is discharged to the ocean at depth. They play a key role in regulating heat …

Abstract Meltwater from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is projected to cause up to one metre of sea-
level rise by 2100 under the highest greenhouse gas concentration trajectory (RCP8. 5) …

Thermodynamic ablation of ice in contact with the ocean is an essential element of ice sheet
and ocean interactions but is challenging to model and quantify. Building on earlier …

Mass loss from the Amundsen Sea sector of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has increased in
recent decades, suggestive of sustained ocean forcing or an ongoing, possibly unstable …

In 1994, ocean measurements near Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier showed that the ice
shelf buttressing the glacier was melting rapidly. This melting was attributed to the presence …

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 …

Ice shelf basal melting is the primary mechanism driving mass loss from the Antarctic Ice
Sheet, yet it is unknown how the localized melt enhancement from subglacial discharge will …

A 1/12° ocean model configuration of the Amundsen Sea sector is developed to better
understand the circulation induced by ice‐shelf melt and the impacts on the surrounding …

temperature, sea ice concentration, and snow depth. Polar grids V002 for 2010. National …

Ice-shelf-like floating extensions at the termini of Greenland glaciers are undergoing rapid
changes with potential implications for the stability of upstream glaciers and the ice sheet as …
