The Antarctic Ice Sheet is buttressed by floating ice shelves. Calving at ice shelf front and basal melting below ice shelf are main ablation processes of Antarctic ice sheet(Rignot et al., 2013). Future collapse of West Antarctic Ice Sheet(WAIS) caused by enhanced basal melting and thinner ice shel...
