Impact of Subglacial Freshwater Discharge on Pine Island Ice Shelf

Satellite-based estimates of ice shelf melt rates reach similar to 200 m yr-1 close to the grounding line of Pine Island Glacier, in West Antarctica. However, ocean simulations have not yet been able to reproduce such high melt rates, even with high-resolution models. Here, we use a regional model o...
