Ice shelves buttress the continental ice flux andmediate ice–ocean interactions. They are often traversed bychannels in which basal melting is enhanced, impacting iceshelfstability. Here, channel evolution is investigated using atransient, three-dimensional full Stokes model and geophysicaldata coll...
