Channelized Ice Melting in the Ocean Boundary Layer Beneath Pine Island Glacier, Antarctica
Active Ice How, exactly, does warm ocean water erode an ice shelf? In a field study of an ice shelf at Pine Island, Antarctica, Stanton et al. (p. 1236 ) collected data from radar, seismic surveys, and oceanographic sensors inserted in holes bored through the ice shelf. The results show that localiz...
