Antarctica’s ice shelves buttress the continent’s terrestrial ice, helping slow the loss of grounded ice into the ocean and limiting sea level rise. Ice-ocean interaction plays a critical role ice shelf stability by driving basal melt rates. Consequently, improved prediction of the future state of i...
