Going against the flow: Pinning points in the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica
The ice shelves surrounding much of the Antarctic continent are supported by pinning points, sites of localised grounding where the floating ice runs aground on the seafloor. Pinning points regulate ice shelf flow and thickness by generating flow resistance, and can in turn, modify grounding line po...
