Melting beneath Totten Glacier driven by natural variability

The Totten Glacier, near Casey research station,is thought to be the canary in the coalminefor climate change in East Antarctica, holdingback at least three metres of potential sealevel rise. Previous studies have suggested thatit is thinning and beginning to retreat.In a new study I and my co-autho...
