Bathymetric and oceanic controls on Abbot Ice Shelf thickness and stability

Ice shelves play key roles in stabilizing Antarctica’s ice sheets, maintaining its high albedo and returning freshwater to the Southern Ocean. Improved data sets of ice shelf draft and underlying bathymetry are important for assessing ocean–ice interactions and modeling ice response to climate chang...
