Antarctic ice shelves, by restraining ice streams and affecting the discharge of grounded ice, play a critical role in the mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet. In this study, sub-ice shelf CTD measurements and time series data from an ice shelf cavity mooring were used to detect subglacial runof...
